Yiziphi izici eziyinhloko zokwehlukahlukana (okwaziwa nangokuthi i-liberalism yeqembu elihlose noma i-polyarchy)? Yiziphi izinto eziyinhloko ezigxekwayo ngalombono?
URobert Dahl uthi amaqembu anentshisekelo yenkululeko abusa amandla e-United States. Yilapha lapho ukungalingani okungahlanganisiwe, okubonakaliswa amaqembu amaningi anobuhle nobuthakathaka, elwela amandla ezombusazwe. Amaqembu akha ukumela izifunda, lapho kukhethwa khona abaholi futhi ahlanganyele ekuthatheni izinqumo zokuyekethisa ngaphakathi kweqembu lawo kanye nabaholi bezinye amaqembu. Amaqembu anezintshisekelo eziphikisanayo avimbela ukuqoqwa kwamandla eqenjini elilodwa. Abagxeki balo mbono bathi uDahl wayekhuluma kuphela ngezinqumo zenqubomgomo ezazixoxwa obala. Kunomzabalazo wamandla wangasese noma ofihlekile lapho kunqunywa khona ukuthi kumelwe kucatshangelwe inqubomgomo yini noma cha. Okwesibili, ukuthi kunokungalingani okuqoqiwe lapho labo abanamazinga aphansi ezinto abakwazi khona ukuqoqa futhi bamele izithakazelo zabo. Okokugcina, ubuholi beqembu abubonakalisi ngaso sonke isikhathi ubulungu beqembu lilonke.
