Reagan on Democracy

Democracy is made up of specifics -- day-to-day freedoms -- just as tyranny is made up of day-to-day oppressions.

October 7, 1987

Democracy is made up of specifics -- day-to-day freedoms -- just as tyranny is made up of day-to-day oppressions. Is it sincere to talk about democracy but ignore the specific markers by which we can tell if democracy truly exists? I don't think so.

Address to the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States
