Annotation by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: Excellent and powerful analysis of that weasel-word, "democracy." Traces of history of American form of government and European copies. What Europe failed to comprehend about our system. It was when Jefferson's party became the party of slavery it took title Democratic. "Democratic may be anything excepting American. The American government is a Republic."
