Sun Lee
26 March 2018
One golden standard of successful democracy is whether its political decisions and institutions adequately reflect the will of the people.
But what exactly is this will of the people? The will of the people can be a very elusive concept. Is it the sum of constituent preferences or is it something beyond that? And why is it so revered?
This article by John Elledge criticizes how we often think that the will of the people makes everything right. He highlights how fickle and erroneous the will of the people can be.
