Reagan on Democracy

We know what real democracy constitutes; we understand its implications. It means the rule of law for the leaders as well as the people.

August 26, 1987

We know what real democracy constitutes; we understand its implications. It means the rule of law for the leaders as well as the people. It involves limitations on the power of the state over the people. It means orderly debate and meaningful votes. It means liberation of the captive people from the thralls of a ruling elite that presumes to know the people's good better than the people.

Remarks on Soviet-United States Relations at the Town Hall of California Meeting in Los Angeles
