Rivera de Las Piedras

A finales del siglo XVIII un ilustrado de Carmona escribía que le había resultado muy difícil disponer de la obra Antigüedades y excelencias de la Villa de Carmona y compendio de historias para su lectura.

The author builds a realistic theory of democracy to end the false idea that corruption, state crime, and public immorality are democracy's (undesirable) products, not the natural and inevitable fruits of oligarchic regimes. Important theories of the state and constitution exist, but none can be called a theory of democracy.
