As Judith Shklar has pointed out, Emerson built Representative Men around the principle of ‘rotation,’ which had become a political axiom in Jacksonian America—the idea that no man, no matter how imposing, should be accorded permanent authority. Representative Men honors the language of democracy in its very title.
