This book explores the evolution of democracy in America from before the country's inception to post-World War I, arguing that true democracy can only exist among a homogeneous population. The author, writing in the early 20th century, examines the expansion of the franchise and the country's growing diversity. They assert that, as the electorate became more diverse, special interests and vested powers wielded undue influence through the judiciary and an enfeebled legislative branch. The author argues that true democracy requires an electorate composed of those fit to govern, and that the inclusion of unfit elements undermines democratic principles. They propose curtailing the franchise and increasing the electorate's control over government, offering a unique historical perspective on the challenges and complexities of democracy.
