Two authors: John s. Mill ( On liberty or other) and Madison (The federalist.)
Prompt: In Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville writes, “The moral dominion of the majority is based in part on the idea that there is more enlightenment and wisdom in many men combined than in one man alone, more in the number than in the choice of legislators. It is the theory of equality applied to minds.” What does he mean by this claim, and how does he characterize the “theory of equality applied to minds” more generally? Compare and contrast these arguments with ones drawn from at least two other texts we have read so far this semester. Do those authors agree with Tocqueville about the risks associated with such beliefs?
