Description

Explore the complexities of electoral democracy in this critical assessment by Daniel Lewis. This book examines how direct democracy institutions, such as ballot initiatives and referendums, impact the rights of minority groups within the American states. While many supporters claim these tools protect citizens from special interests and corrupt lawmakers, this investigation presents a different perspective. The text analyzes how mass participation can lead to policy outcomes that favor a slim majority while potentially endangering minority rights. It provides a deep look into the tension between democratic responsiveness and the prevention of the tyranny of the majority. This work is an essential resource for those studying constitutional law, political science, and the mechanics of representation. It offers a thorough investigation into how direct voting mechanisms shape the legal and social landscape of American governance.
