Democracy and Extreme Confidence
in Government: an Analysis of the Relation
between the Quality of Democracy
and the Confidence in Governments
in 54 States
This study examines the correlation between democracy and extreme confidence
in governments in 54 states. The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis
that the greater the number of citizens who display extreme confidence in
government, the worse the quality of democracy. This finding argues against some
of the propositions of Robert Putnam. The OLS regression analysis confirms
the negative correlation between the variables, which indicates that the extreme
levels of support for government do not correlate with the development of
democracy.
