Abstract
Two questions have dominated the modern study of politics. How do
political systems become democratic? And how, supposing they have managed to become democratic, do they manage to remain so? As yet, there is no agreement on the answer to the first question. For a generation, however, there has been consensus on a core part of the answer to the second. In democratic polities, political elites have come to consensus in support of democratic rights, and in times of political stress
this elite consensus has served as a bulwark protecting citizens' liberties.
