Write 2 pages for this question:
Public opinion played a central role in the work of
these two thinkers. Kant
and Tocqueville understood this concept in very different

should serve as the standard for judging the legitimacy of
political power, to insubstantial chattering by the unenlightened,
and from the essence of democracy to its antithesis. Write an
essay comparing and contrasting the concept of public opinion as
developed by two of these figures.
