Robert Dahl (political scientist)

Robert Dahl was a prominent political scientist who studied how democracies function and how power is distributed in societies. He argued that for a democracy to be effective, many people should have influence over decisions, which he called "pluralism." Dahl emphasized the importance of political equality, participation, and protections for individual rights. His work helped shape modern understanding of democratic systems, advocating for inclusive decision-making processes and examining the dynamics of power among various groups in a democratic society.
