"In the democratic forms of government the operation of universal suffrage tends toward the selection of the average man for public office rather than the man qualified by birth(Jus sangiunis), education, and integrity. How this scheme of administration will ultimately work out remains to be seen, but from a racial point of view, it will inevitably increase the preponderance of the lower types and cause a corresponding loss of efficiency in the community as a whole.
The tendency in a democracy is toward a standardization of type and a diminution of the influence of genius. A majority must of necessity be inferior to a picked minority, and it always resents specializations in which it cannot share."
-Madison Grant
