The American Form of Democracy and the Alternatives (Hybrid)

Philosophy Professor Thomas Carson explores the nature of democracy, focusing on the distinct features of the American system and Constitution compared with parliamentary models, where the chief executive is chosen by the legislature. He examines checks and balances, voting rights, and alternative voting systems, while also addressing the influence of the internet, artificial intelligence, and voter misinformation. Carson also considers Plato’s classic objections to democracy and their relevance today.
