The fight for democracy is essentially a fight for representative government, a fight for self-determination of government among and for nations. The ideals with which public opinion has been nursed are capable of misinter pretation in theory and practice. It is time to call attention to the real aim and purpose of representative government. The knowledge of the principles of representative government may be gained through the study of the social sciences. These sciences have been kept apart and discussed in distinctly different works. Their study would entail the application of time and expenditures to the average man. To remedy this defect this little work has been devised. Its purpose is to co-relate these subjects in a more accessible form. This work does not claim to be an exhaustive study on these subjects. It gives, however, an accurate outline of the laws and principles involved, and arguments advanced by more progressive minds of the age. It will be a real guide for the beginner and for persons desiring to study the elements of this all important question, the question of popular government. Those who would like to go further into these subjects will find competent works quoted at the close of this outline.
