A Powerful Case For Why Majority RuleNot RepresentationIs The Defining Feature Of Democratic Politicsthe Idea That Democratic Governance Rests On Active SelfRule By Citizens Plays Surprisingly Little Part In Current Theories Of Democracy, Which Instead Stress The Importance Of Representation By Elected, Appointed, Or Randomly Selected Bodies Such As Legislatures, Courts, And Juries. This Would Have Astonished EighteenthCentury Theorists Of Democracy, Who Viewed Universal Suffrage And Majoritarian Voting As The Sole Criteria For Democratic Politics. Active And Passive Citizens Defends The View Of These Earlier Thinkers, Asserting That Individual Agency Is The Very Essence Of Democracy.In This Provocative And Lucidly Argued Book, Richard Tuck Draws On The Distinction Made By The Abb Sieys, A Leading Political Theorist Of The French Revolution, Between Active Citizens (The Electorate) And Passive Ones (Those Who Are Represented By The Institutions Of The State). Tuck Traces Our Current Representative View Of Democracy To Sieys And Contrasts Him With Rousseau, A Theorist Of Active SelfRule By The People. Tuck Argues That Modern Theories Of Democracy Have Effectively Turned Us Into Passive Citizens And Calls For A Renewal Of A Majoritarian Democracy That Realizes The Full Potential Of Active Citizenship.Based On The Prestigious Tanner Lectures Delivered At Princeton UniversityS Center For Human Values, Active And Passive Citizens Is Edited And Introduced By Stephen Macedo And Includes Commentary By Political Theorists Simone Chambers, Joshua Cohen, John Ferejohn, And Melissa Schwartzberg.
