perspective What’s gone wrong with Democracy?

The eCOnOMIST MagazIne recently pub- lished “What’s gone wrong with democracy ... and what can be done to revive it?” The suggestion is that democracy is some kind of ideal for organiz- ing human conduct. That’s a popular misconcep- tion. The ideal way to organize human conduct is to create a system that maximizes personal liberty for all. Liberty and democracy are not synonymous and most often are opposites. In Federalist Paper no. 10, James Madison explained, “Measures are perspective too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.” democracy and majority rule confer an aura of legitimacy and respectability on acts that would otherwise be deemed tyrannical.

Part of the reason for having two houses of Con- gres s is that it places an obstacle to majority rule. Fifty-one senators can block the wishes of 435 rep- resentatives and 49 senators. The Constitution gives the president a veto to thwart the power of 535 members of Congress. It takes two-thirds of both houses of Congress to override the president’s veto. If you don’t have time to examine our founding documents, just ask yourself: does our pledge of allegiance to the flag read to the democracy, or to the republic, for which it stands? Or, did Julia Ward howe make a mistake in titling her Civil War song “The Battle hymn of the republic”? Should it have been “The Battle hymn of the democracy”? Walter e.
