Excerpt from Representative Government: Its Evils and Their Reform; A Lecture Delivered February 27, 1869, at the Invitation and Under the Auspices of the Trustees of the Cooper Union
All our ostrich wisdom will not wipe out a wrong - nay, nor will our mutual admiration cause nature to abate one jot or tittle of the punishment she has in store for such as act counter to her laws, or disobey her mandates.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the inner workings of representative government, exposing the flaws that have corrupted its integrity and led to widespread political discontent. The author draws upon historical and contemporary examples to illustrate how the current system, based on majority rule and party politics, has given rise to corruption, disenfranchisement, and a decline in the quality of leadership. The book argues that the problem lies in the fundamental principles of representation itself. By privileging the views of the majority, the system fails to represent the diverse voices within society and allows special interests to exert undue influence. The author proposes a radical solution: a shift to personal representation, where each individual's vote carries equal weight, ensuring that all perspectives are heard and considered. This thought-provoking book challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the future of democracy. It exposes the hidden weaknesses in our political system and provides a roadmap for reform, ultimately highlighting the importance of creating a truly representative government that serves the interests of all citizens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
