Produktbeschreibung
""Government By All The People: Or The Initiative, The Referendum, And The Recall As Instruments Of Democracy"" is a book written by Delos Franklin Wilcox and published in 1912. The book explores the concept of direct democracy, specifically the use of the initiative, referendum, and recall as instruments to ensure that the government is truly representative of the people. Wilcox argues that these tools are essential for a true democratic society, as they allow citizens to have a direct say in the decisions that affect their lives. He provides historical examples of how these tools have been used successfully in the United States and other countries, and discusses their potential to empower citizens and promote greater accountability in government.The book also addresses criticisms of direct democracy, such as concerns over the potential for mob rule and the role of special interests in the initiative and referendum process. Wilcox argues that these concerns can be addressed through proper regulation and education of citizens.Overall, ""Government By All The People"" is a comprehensive and persuasive argument in favor of direct democracy as a means of promoting greater citizen participation and accountability in government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
