Question

This concept’s instrumental and non-instrumental values are contrasted in an Elizabeth Anderson paper. 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 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 American prisons with (10[1])Gustave de (10[1])Beaumont, (10[1])Alexis de (10[1])Tocqueville wrote a book (10[1])titled for this (10[1])concept (10[1])in (10[4])America. For 10 points, name this political system in which leaders are elected by citizens. (10[3])■END■

ANSWER: democracy [accept word forms like democratic government; accept Democracy in America; accept Democracy and Education; accept “Creative Democracy” or “Creative Democracy: The Task Before Us”]
