Considerations On Representative Government

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the principles of democracy and representative government, John Stuart Mill argues for the ideal of a system that allows citizens to elect their representatives. He critiques contemporary democratic practices, particularly the British system, for lacking true representation and advocates for universal voting rights. Emphasizing the relationship between individuals and the state, Mill champions freedoms of press and speech, asserting that the state should protect individual rights while minimizing interference in personal lives. His insights remain relevant in today's political discourse.
