What values are essential in a successful democracy?
In a special bonus episode of Politics In Question, Julia, Lee, and James discuss the values that make democracies successful.
What exactly are the essential values in a democracy? How should we evaluate transgressions against them? Are America’s essential values in tension with one another? If so, how do Americans balance that tension? And how do we ensure that the values we care about most get prioritized by our fellow citizens and elected officials? These are some of the questions Julia, Lee, and James discuss in this episode.
