In a way, the fundamental presupposition of democratic regimes is the presence of political voice among the citizens. Yet democratic voice may take a variety of forms. This article examines these different forms in light of opportunities and hazards arising in connection with increased democratization and democratic reconstruction. The author explores three models of democratic voice-cries, eloquence, and judgment-and finds that the virtues of democratic judgment have been largely ignored in recent political theory. He also finds elaboration of and support for this form of democratic voice in an unlikely and provocative place: Plato's dialogue Gorgias
