 [https://www.academia.edu/7694771/John_Dewey_and_the_Necessity_of_a_Democratic_Civic_Education This paper examines John Dewey's] philosophy on the interdependence of democracy and education. It argues that a democratic civic education is crucial in fostering responsible citizenship, especially in an era marked by uncertainty and the challenges posed by modernity. By promoting critical thinking, cooperative enterprise, and the scientific attitude, Dewey's ideas highlight the necessity for citizens to actively engage in ethical deliberations and social responsibilities, ultimately reinforcing the relationship between civic education and democratic ideals.

 Democracy and be elusive to maintain. It has been found that universal suffrage and democratic elections inevitably lead to the selection of a '''Caesar''' or strong man to lead the government. Once in power, they inevitably try to change the education systems to recognize their power as democracy. Here is how one author described it:<ref>Helena Rosenblatt, ''The Lost History of Liberalism'' ISBN 9780691170701</ref><blockquote>Interest in Napoleon III's form of government was especially intense because it seemed to constituent a new and hybrid type of rule - economically progressive yet socially conservative, popular by authoritarian. ... Caesarism became the name for a modern form of democratic dictatorship, the rule of a military strongman who centralized power in his own hands, while claiming to embody the will of the people. The word was used interchangeably with "Napoleonism" or "Bonapartism" and was not necessarily a term of abuse. ... Some conservatives thanked Napoleon III;s Caesarism for restoring order. </blockquote>
