H. Mallock argues that the idea of pure democracy - or government based purely on the will of the people - is fundamentally flawed. Drawing on examples from history and philosophy, Mallock argues that democracy, in practice, often leads to tyranny, and that a more nuanced system of government - one that includes elements of aristocracy and monarchy - is necessary for the preservation of individual freedoms and the common good. Written in elegant prose, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in political theory and the nature of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
