Abstract
Democracies are commonly said to be more responsive to the needs of their citizens than any other political arrangement. The idea is that majority elections function (perhaps imperfectly)to aggregate citizens’ diverse private preferences and, because of this, democracies have a unique mechanism for responding to local knowledge of what’s needed by particular communities and what is important to particular groups of people
