Preserving Democracy bulletins by Michigan scholars
Professors Knappen Muelder and Kimber of Michigan State College publish three bulletins under Preserving Democracy exploring What is Democracy, Human Material for Democracy, and Civil Liberty. They define democracy as government by the people with power exercised through free elections while noting democracy is not an economic system and that majority will must be followed. The writers trace democracy to medieval merchant practice, cite equality before the law, and stress individual rights within communal limits. They argue democracy endures when citizens meet moral duties, despite claims of inefficiency, and contrast it with tyranny abroad.
