A anomalia democrática: adolescência e romantismo na história política

Democratic suffrage with minimal age requirement organizations are recent phenomena in political history, even if we consider its minimalist definition: regular elections with the warranty of respect to the results, and universal suffrage with minimal age requirement. Having its origin in a spatial conception of individual worth, the contemporary democratic systems not only have not solved but also try to conceal a fundamental problem: the irredentists' autonomy. The democratic power is also a constant threaten to liberty.
