Abstract

1985] BOOK REVIEWS 347 America n tradition of th e separation of th e powers, and it may b e that we in England have neglected that tradition too much in recent years, on th e theory that democracy makes the separation of powers an obso­ let e and irrelevan t doctrine. It must, after all, never be forgotten that a n independent judiciary has always been a part of th e democratic pro­ cess in Western societies. There is surely nothing very paradoxical in recognizing that democracy requires an undemocratic element to make it workable, or even tolerable, as a system of government. Would we call a society a 'democracy' if its political institutions were designed to translat e th e popular will instantly and constantly into effective action, nomatte r how tha t popular will fluctuated from moment to moment , no matte r how intoleran t it becam e of disagreement or minorities, no mat­ te r how it attempted to ignore any rules by which the popular will could itself be determined?
