HAS DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT A FUTURE?
I agree with Robert Bork that whilst the democratic principle is in rhetorical ascendency everywhere, it is worth asking whether this is a practise rather than an actuality.
He quotes Sir Henry Maine who made the point that the privileged classes in France never saw the Revoluton coming that was to overwhelm them. Unlike the French, it does seem that democracy in the US is being hollowed out from within as a result of the inexorable advance of modern liberalism, radical egalitarianism, and judicial decree.
