The classical theory of democracy starts from a model where good sense and common sense play a major role, as the notions of the "impartial spectator" (Adam Smith) or the "general will" (Jean-Jacques Rousseau) show, among others. These notions are indispensable to explain many social and political phenomend of our time: phenomena of political consensus on given issues or of short, mid and long-term moral, political, institutional and social evoltion
