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 (-5[1])despotism.” This is the first title concept of a book advocating for a progressive model of (10[1])education by John (-5[1])Dewey. While on a trip to study American prisons with Gustave de Beaumont, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote a (10[1])book (10[1])titled for this (10[2])concept in (10[1])America. For 10 points, name this political system in which leaders are elected by citizens. (10[1])■END■
