Pressure Groups and the American Tradition
Present social research indicates that interest groups have little effect on the formation or on the distribution of basic values. On the other hand, these groups are often able to create a short-run favorable climate of opinion. Market re search surveys and election campaign studies furnish the prin cipal documented evidence on opinion fluctuations. To be successful, an interest group must rally to its cause formerly uncommitted persons who are …
American Political Parties as a Conservative Force
N CLASSICAL democratic theory political parties, when mentioned at all, were treated as one-way transmission belts between the electorate and those persons voted into office. The role of the parties was seen in extraordinarily passive terms. The parties were considered, at least ideally, to be essentially mechanisms through which the will of the citizenry could be canalized and turned into positive law. Today, in contrast to the view held half-a-…

Congress at Work
The Rise of the Democratic Party of Rhode Island
BEGINNING with triumphs in the cities half a century ago, the Democratic party has now become the dominant political organization of Rhode Island. Today the Democrats usually control all state-wide elective offices. In the General Assembly, only the Senate is normally Republican, and then by the smallest of margins. Of great importance is the fact that the political trend in Rhode Island has been reflected (but by no means duplicated) in the othe…
Party Responsibility. A Critical Inquiry
Party Responsibility - a Critical Inquiry
INTEREST IN THE QUESTION of reorganization of American political parties is probably at an all-time high. Since the end of World War II, most of the dozen or more new books dealing with Congress have touched on the problem; and innumerable books and articles have dealt with the parties and the problem directly. The Report of the Committee on Political Parties of the American Political Science Association is one of the most recent contributions.' …
"Democracy" in American Communal and Socialist Literature
Like other words rich in symbol-value, the term has in the course of our history possessed varied meanings. In the literature of American communists and socialists the term has changed its meaning at least as often as it has with other political groups. An analysis of democracy as used by different American writers of the communal, communist, and socialist camps is of interest, not only historically, but also as a study of symbol and word values
