The Teary Majority and Soft Despotism

Tocqueville's idea of soft despotism is an evolution of his thought regarding what it would really mean for the majority as he's described it to become tyrannical. Tofus: In order for rights to be upheld, even if they're democratic, and then in principle belong to everybody, it has to be the case that government respects them. But there's always going to be a temptation on the part of whoever is responsible for theAdministrative concentration where ambitious people like to get power.
