Locke, Tocqueville, and Civic Education

Why is education so important in a democracy? Are democracies capable of producing the citizens they need?

Jeffrey Sikkenga, Executive Director of the Ashbrook Center, joins Madison's Notes to answer these questions and more.

Madison’s Notes is the podcast of Princeton University’s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.
