Democratic Politics and Communication

All political power is a trust.

Who will burden himself with your liturgical parterre when the burning questions [brennende Fragen] of the day invite to very different toils?

A weapon that comes down as still
As snowflakes fall upon the sod;
But executes a freeman's will,
As lightning does the will of God;
And from its force, nor doors nor locks
Can shield you; 'tis the ballot-box.
