Teaching about American Democracy through Historical Cases.
Appleton, Sheldon
PS: Political Science and Politics, v28 n4 p730-33 Dec 1995
Outlines several historical cases that can be used to illustrate and teach paradoxical concepts concerning democracy. For example, can an "undemocratic" action be correct (the Louisiana Purchase)? The combination of historical incident and controversy provokes a lively and challenging discussion of democratic principles. (MJP)
