Abstract

Political Liberty explores the conditions necessary for genuine self-governance: constitutional limits on power, separation of powers, freedom of the press, and the right of opposition. Simon draws on the turbulent political experience of 19th-century France to argue that democracy without constitutional safeguards degenerates into tyranny.
