Excerpt from Origin and Causes of Democracy in America: A Discourse by George W. Burnap

We have existed long enough to develop and to exhibit our national characteristics. The most prominent of these, as I have already said, is Democracy. I mean, of course, in no sectarian or party sense. I mean a government constituted and administered by the people themselves. I mean a Democracy, in contradistinction to a Despotism, a Monarchy, an Aristocracy; and as equally distinguished from Anarchy, Agrarianism, and Socialism.

The formation of this great Republic in the western hemi sphere, was a result wholly unforeseen and unpremeditated.
