Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of American democracy, from its colonial origins to the present day. The author argues that the American democratic experiment has been a paradoxical one, characterized by both a strong commitment to popular sovereignty and a deep fear of the potential abuses of political power. Early American political thinkers like Montesquieu believed that democracy could only function if it were based on virtue and the rule of law. This tension between popular sovereignty and the rule of law has shaped American democracy from its inception. In the 20th century, the rise of progressive ideology sought to reconcile these opposing forces by arguing that the people could use their political power to create a just and equitable society. However, the author argues that this has largely been a failure, and that the quest for a perfect democracy remains an unfinished project.
