Features: This book is part of the series Public Law Studies. As the foundation of democracy, elections have existed in the West for 200 years, during which suffrage has been extended over more than a century. However, the equality of suffrage and the reflection of public opinion through elections have often been questioned in reality. The author takes the United States, where electoral practice and theory are relatively mature, as an example to introduce its history of suffrage and explore the relationship between "the legalization of elections and the democratization of elections" as well as the "main factors and patterns of modern electoral democracy." The book also attempts to provide some references for the improvement of China's electoral theory and system.
