In The Deconstitutionalization of America: The Forgotten Frailties
of Democratic Rule, Roger M. Barrus and his coauthors embark on a
discussion of American democracy from the nineteenth century to the
present day. The present paradox democracy finds itself in can be
summed up as 'the best of times and the worst of times.' Democracy,
at its best, has triumphed throughout the world. It is the authors
contention that this same success represents the potential for its
undoing: with all governments claiming to be democratic, modern
democrats-and this includes just about everyone-find it difficult
if not impossible to understand the nature and problems of
democracy. Since most everyone lives within a democratic horizon,
they have nothing to compare democracy to and no one to point out
its faults. In this way, they are hampered in dealing with their
social and political problems, some of which may be the result of
contradictions inherent in the democratic principle itself. The
solution to democracy's ills might not be, after all, more
democracy.
