That paper draws on an earlier thinker’s description of this concept “as a way of life” in an essay titled for a “Creative” form of (-5[1])it. A book titled for this concept claims that one population’s “habits of the heart” will prevent it from entering a state of “soft despotism.” This is the first title concept of a book advocating for a progressive model of education by John Dewey. While on a trip to study (10[1])American prisons with Gustave (-5[1])de Beaumont, Alexis de (10[3])Tocqueville wrote a book titled for this concept in (10[3])America. For 10 (10[1])points, name this political system in which leaders are elected by citizens. (10[1])■END■
