What justifies democracy? Carlos Santiago Nino here answers this question with an original theory of democracy that emphasizes its deliberative character. Nino sees democracy as a moral conversation, of value for its capacity to generate an impartial perspective and take into account the interests of all citizens. He shows how constitutional practices can support a deliberative democracy.
