Considerations On Representative Government

Considerations on Representative Government

by John Stuart Mill

John Stuart Mill's 'Considerations on Representative Government' explores the concept of representative government, its advantages, and its limitations. Mill argues that representative government is the best form of governance for large and complex societies, as it allows for the fair representation of diverse interests and the protection of individual rights. He also discusses the importance of an independent judiciary, a free press, and a well-educated citizenry for the successful functioning of representative government.
