Features: This book is part of the series "Public Law Studies." As the foundation of democracy, elections have a history of 200 years in the West, during which suffrage has been extended over more than a century. However, the equality of suffrage and the role of elections as reflections of public opinion have often been questioned in reality. The author takes the United States, where election theory and practice are relatively mature, as a case study 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 democratic elections." The book also aims to provide some references for the improvement of China's election theory and system.
