Excerpt from The Limits of Pure Democracy

Let us now consider what these definitions come to, beginning with the first and most famous of them.

This definition consists of three separate statements firstly, that Democracy is government of the people; secondly, that it is government for the people; and, thirdly, that it is government by the people. It is obvious that the first purports to enunciate something which, however profound, can at once be grasped by everybody; whilst the second adds something more pro found and distinctive still, and that both lead up to the cumulative profundity of the last. Let us ask, then, what intelligible meaning can be possibly read into each.
