Such are not merely the natural tendencies, but the inherent necessities of despotic government; from which there is no outlet, unless in so far as the despotism consents not to be despotism; in so far as the supposed good despot abstains from exercising his power, and, though holding it in reserve, allows the general business of government to go on as if the people really governed themselves. However little probable it may be, we may imagine a despot observing many of the rules and restraints of constitutio. . . Read More

Absolutely excellent treatise on representative government, exploring every aspect of it as well as suggesting some controversial ideas (plural voting). My one criticism is I would’ve liked an overview or concluding chapter just because the book is relatively long. Nevertheless, reading John Stuart
با جزییات بسیار مطلوبی به ارائه راهکارهایی برای دموکراسی یا حکومت انتخابی می پردازد
مطالعه این کتاب رو توصیه می کنم اطلاعات بسیار مطلوبی دارد و زوایای زیادی از حکومت های انتخابی را مورد بررسی قرار داده است
