Summary
»Democracy« only began to emerge as a pivotal characteristic of modern government during the 19th century. Up until then, modern government was regularly referred to as being »republican« whereas the concept of democracy had a negative connotation. Marc André Wiegand examines this conceptual shift and the normative consequences which followed.
