- Summary
- "Shows that rules and institutions, while important, are not the core of democracy. Instead, as Alexis de Tocqueville showed in the early years of the American republic, democracy is first and foremost a matter of culture: the shared ideas, practices, and technologies that help individuals combine into publics and achieve representation. Re-interpreting democracy as culture reveals the ways the media, public opinion polling, and changing technologies shape democracy and citizenship. As Perrin shows, the Founders of the United States produced a fertile social, cultural, and legal environment for democratic development, and in the two centuries since, citizens and publics have used that environment and shared culture to re-imagine and extend that democracy.''--Page 4 of cover
