Présentation de l'éditeur
Constructive democracy is the genius of the people engaged in building their institutions. This creative spirit finds expression at various times through every school of thought, from the most conservative to the most radical. I ts achievement is the net result of agitation, discussion, and popular action crystallized into law. It is the common-sense of the people registered in the event. While neither of the historic parties in the United States is in any peculiar sense the custodian of the constructive principle, it is nevertheless true that in a republic political results can only be achieved by means of party organization. But no party owns the public confidence, and no party can safely presume upon a long lease of power because it has won a sweeping victory at the polls. The City of Chicago furnishes a striking example of the fickleness of public opinion, so far as mere party names are concerned.
