Více o knize
Direct democracy mechanisms, such as ballot initiatives and referendums, are critiqued for threatening minority rights and fostering majority tyranny. While proponents argue these tools shield citizens from corrupt legislators, the author, Daniel Lewis, reveals how they can lead to adverse policy effects for minority groups, driven by the preferences of a slim majority. This comprehensive examination offers valuable insights for scholars of direct democracy, state and minority politics, electoral institutions, and American politics overall.
