Democracies Are Not Guaranteed To Last Forever

In The Moment ... August 6, 2018 Show 394 Hour 2

Democracies are not guaranteed to last forever. They are inherently fragile.

John Miller says that within a democratic society, people naturally disagree. What is important is our ability and willingness to negotiate those disagreements. And that is not as easy as it sounds. 

John Miller wrote "Democracy and the Informed Citizen: A South Dakota Perspective" based on that premise. 

Today he joined In The Moment with a little insight on his book. 

Chris is a producer for In the Moment.
