Description

"Winston Churchill said that democracy is "the worst system devised by the wit of man, except for all the others." Although the state has taken many forms throughout history, it has not always been a protector of hits citizens and their freedoms. Provides a historical overview of the myriad forms of govenment that have existed and their organizing principles, whether it is a Greek city state such as Athens that granted each citizen rights or a 20th-century empire, such as the Soviet Union, where the individual was secondary to the omnipotent monolithic state."--Container.
