The paper argues in favor of representative democracy due to the challenges faced by democratic institutions, both on a practical level and a conceptual one. Direct democratic institutions, in particular, do not seem suitable for producing public decisions through a deliberative process capable of building compromises. Instead, they tend to produce distinctly majoritarian decisions, risking the creation of conditions for a dictatorship of the majority.

Abstract
The paper argues in favor of representative democracy due to the challenges faced by democratic institutions, both on a practical level and a conceptual one. Direct democratic institutions, in particular, do not seem suitable for producing public decisions through a deliberative process capable of building compromises. Instead, they tend to produce distinctly majoritarian decisions, risking the creation of conditions for a dictatorship of the majority.
