Kapur and Naim both produce a great deal of intriguing data demonstrating that bodies such as the International Monetary...
"The Fund acts as a financial and informational go-between, a bulwark against global financial chaos, and a source of restraint on governments prone to dangerously heavy-borrowing." (Kapur & Naim)
Thomas M. Franck's journal article "The Emerging Right to Democratic Governance" is, in spite of being somewhat outdated in the present-day democratic environment, essential in supporting the idea that there is still a long way to go before democracy is going to be seen with appreciation by the general public.

Thus, as a candidate for a particular region of the United States, regardless of its importance, he could promote the morality of slavery or its lack. However, as a major public figure, he did not have the political support or the democratic one to advocate the freedom of the slaves. Nor did he want to take that road. One of the most evident proofs was the fact that "Lincolnin
America was a wonderful experiment in freedom and democracy which had never before been attempted by any nation. Nations either tried to give power to the people in order to prevent monarchies from rising to despotic power, or they allowed monarchs, despots and other sole figure heads to rise to power.

The ratification in itself was a long one, and it involved in essence the perusal of the written Constitution by each state for ratification purposes, for which each state was required to create
