America's Balance Between Democracy and Elitism

Abstract: A 3 page paper discussing the dangers to democracy that exist in our system of government. In The Federalist Papers, Publius stresses repeatedly that the government is to be that of representation of the people. For his part of the Federalist works, Madison made clear distinction between the close and local representation favored by the antifederalists and that of which he wrote. Alexis de Tocqueville was able in the 19th century to predict the conditions that have led to politics in the present age. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
