ABSTRACT
The citizens are kept in touch with what the State is doing and the State is at given periods, or it may be continuously, told of what is going on in the deep layers of the society. In a State like our own, all that is involved in the administration of justice, in education, in the economic life of the people, has become conscious. A State may be democratic and still have a strong organization. The true characteristics are twofold: a greater range of the government consciousness, and closer communications between this consciousness and the mass of individual consciousnesses. Democracy indeed, as we have defined it, is the political system that conforms best to our present-day notion of the individual. The values we attribute to individual personality make us loth to use it as a mechanism to be wielded from without by the social authority.
