From Israel’s Ten Commandments to the Athenian Constitution, to Rome’s Twelve Tables, to the overthrow of kings in England and America, Lyons traces democracy from its historical roots to the modern-day, constructing a blueprint of what defines tyranny or democratic government in The DNA of Democracy.
