Abstract
From the time of the great French Revolution, democracy came to be the political ideal of the 19th century. To be sure, there were also not inconsiderable forces in the Western world which were working to uphold the principle of monarchy. But they were reckoned to be reactionary. The idea of the popular state was the thing of the future. It drew the hearts of all who believed in progress and wished to see a higher development of social life. And it was above all the young, rising bourgeoisie who fought for this idea.
