Overview

Democracy by its very nature is a difficult form of government to administer. It is messy. There are many conflicting ideas of how to do things. In order to enact any programs, you must build consensus. There is a lot of give-and-take in the process. In the end few people get everything they want. The democratic process is further complicated by the elected officials who are supposed to administer it. They are not perfect people. They wrestle with the same foibles as all of us. They are easily distracted, are inconsistent, lack the proper knowledge, and in some cases are just downright incompetent. Plus, they possess some of our common moral weaknesses: pride, envy, jealousy, laziness, just to name a few. So in the end American democracy will never be perfect.

It tells what he tried to accomplish, and what he learned.
