Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Alexis de Tocqueville said
democracy Elections, the losers accepting them, and the rules that keep power answerable to voters.
Democracy loosens social ties, but it draws the ties of nature more tight; it brings kindred more closely together, whilst it places the various members of the community more widely apart.
Where this was said
↗Democracy in America, Volume 2 (1840; Henry Reeve translation)gutenberg.org
