The Promise of Democratic Equality in the United States explores
the ways in which the American political system fails to fully
respect political equality. Douglas D. Roscoe argues these
deficiencies are not necessarily failures of justice, but often
reflect attempts to balance important but competing principles and
values. He analyzes the balance among these competing values in a
variety of contexts, including congressional representation, the
Electoral College, voting regulations, campaign finance, lobbying,
the Senate filibuster rules, and protections for civil rights and
liberties. A diverse set of methodological approaches is employed
to carefully evaluate whether the limits placed on political
equality are reasonable and necessary. Using a rigorous normative
framework, while leaning heavily on high-quality quantitative
evidence and social science research, this book provides students
of democratic theory and American politics with a compact and
manageable review of the degree to which democratic equality is
supported in the United States.
