American Democracy Reconsidered: Part II and Conclusions

L. J. Sharpe

British Journal of Political Science, 1973, vol. 3, issue 2, 129-167

Abstract: The overall conclusion to be drawn from the discussion contained in Part I of this article is that, even in respect of what are usually regarded in the literature as being some of its more distinctively democratic characteristics, the American system of urban government is lacking. It may even be in these respects less democratic than the British. Whether it is agreed that the attributes discussed in Part I are those of a democracy or not, by its own lights American city government is deficient.
