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. Using the United States, a country with relatively mature election theory and practice, as a case study, the author introduces the history of American suffrage and explores the relationship between "the legalization of elections and the democratization of elections" as well as "the main factors and patterns of modern and contemporary electoral democracy." The book also aims to provide some references for the improvement of China's election theory and system.
