Beyond “We the People”: Rethinking Democracy
Across headlines and political speeches, we hear constant warnings about the “end” or “collapse” of democracy. The assumption is clear: democracy is a fixed, universally understood system now under threat. But this framing obscures a deeper reality. Democracy has never meant one thing. Across history, it has carried different meanings for different people, at different times, and has often been used to serve very different—and sometimes contradictory—purposes.
