Resumen
CORTES RODAS, Francisco. The Challenge of Democracy to Despotism: Benjamin Constant and Alexis de Tocqueville. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2012, n.40, pp.15-37. ISSN 0121-5167.
This article is based on the research of how Constant and Tocqueville correlate Democracy and Rule of Law or with a form of political organization based on the division of powers and on legality; when the said correlation is not brought about in a reasonable way then Democracy turns into its opposites: tyranny, dictatorship and despotism.
