Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Will of the People The world at large seems now more disposed than ever before to enter into an examination of the democratic form of government with a view to practice. Many of the advantages of democracy are quite obvious. It is agreeable to the mind of man to conceive that he is governing himself. It adds a good deal of dignity to the part he plays in the world. He is, in truth, at length conceded to be a rational animal who may be entrusted with his own control. Surely there can be no disputing that democracy is the most flattering to the individual intelligence of any of the systems devised for the regulation of man in society. Then again, democracy is plainly in harmony with a pronounced material well-being for a great many. This is apparent if one contrasts the distribution of riches created or acquired in the development of the north and south halves of the American continent. In the case of South America, under monarchy, great riches were accumulated, but their distribution was highly restricted, while in the peopling of North America, a republic, so very many have been admitted to share in its wealth that a common notion seems to prevail in Europe that every American is a nabob. Abstractly considered, the prevalence of the will of the majority seems to be the most philosophic principle which can obtain in civil government. With so much that is attractive about it one must always approach the side of defect with a sympathetic interest.
