Examines the emergence of democracy and liberalism in modern France, exploring the distinction between public opinion and popular sovereignty. Arthur Ghins considers how democracy was first rejected, then associated with the idea of rule by public opinion by liberals, culminating in the invention of 'liberal democracy' in the 1860s.
