| summary | The text discusses 19th-century liberal perspectives from France and England regarding political structures before World War I and the New Deal. They expressed concerns about elected despotism and advocated for a constitutional monarch as an institution providing unity and dignity, filling the role that demagogues or cults of personality might otherwise occupy. Recently, there's been puzzlement over why there seems to be less resistance against attacks on democracy and rule of law in some political scenarios compared to others. The author proposes that this could be linked to perceptions of time and subsequent emotional responses. |
