A democracy is a government in the hands of men of low birth

Summary

This quote suggests that a democratic government is often controlled by individuals who come from humble backgrounds, have limited wealth, and are engaged in ordinary or undervalued occupations. It implies that in a democracy, power is not exclusively held by the privileged or elite, but rather can be accessible to those who are not traditionally seen as leaders. This perspective highlights the inclusive nature of democracy, where individuals from diverse backgrounds can participate and contribute to the governance of a society.
