Considerations on Representative Government

Explore the depths of political thought with John Stuart Mill's "Considerations on Representative Government". This seminal work, both provocative and insightful, challenges the reader to reevaluate their understanding of democracy and representation. Mill scrutinizes the implications of representative government, the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual, and the potential dangers of tyranny. His deft analysis of the balance between authority and liberty remains as pertinent today as it was in the 19th century. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in political philosophy and the foundations of modern democracy.
