Abstract

The Coming Accountability of the Democratic Party

November 19, 1874 issue

add to cart close window

The article focuses on issues related to accountability of the U.S. Democratic party. There are several theories of political responsibility which have more or less prevailed in the U.S. These flow have attached to them a peculiar temporary interest, growing out of the fact that the Democratic party, which all along, and particularly as an opposition party, has stoutly maintained one of them, is unexpectedly awarded a brief period of trial, in which most men expect it to be judged according to the doctrine of accountability which it has itself maintained. And accountability, in the judgment of all watchful people, now means a great deal.
