The Unheavenly Chorus is the most comprehensive and systematic examination of political voice in America ever undertaken--and its findings are sobering. The Unheavenly Chorus is the first book to look at the political participation of individual citizens alongside the political advocacy of thousands of organized interests--membership associations such as unions, professional associations, trade associations, and citizens groups, as well as organizations like corporations, hospitals, and universities. Drawing on numerous in-depth surveys of members of the public as well as the largest database of interest organizations ever created--representing more than thirty-five thousand organizations over a twenty-five-year period--this book conclusively demonstrates that American democracy is marred by deeply ingrained and persistent class-based political inequality. The well educated and affluent are active in many ways to make their voices heard, while the less advantaged are not. This book reveals how the political voices of organized interests are even less representative than those of individuals, how political advantage is handed down across generations, how recruitment to political activity perpetuates and exaggerates existing biases, how political voice on the Internet replicates these inequalities--and more. In a true democracy, the preferences and needs of all citizens deserve equal consideration. Yet equal consideration is only possible with equal citizen voice. The Unheavenly Chorus reveals how far we really are from the democratic ideal and how hard it would be to attain it. 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$zUnited States 606 $aPressure groups$zUnited States 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 610 $aANES panel studies. 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aAmerican civic culture. 610 $aAmerican democracy. 610 $aInternet. 610 $aSupreme Court decisions. 610 $aWashington pressure community. 610 $aWashington representation. 610 $aadvantaged. 610 $aage groups. 610 $aage. 610 $abusiness interests. 610 $aclass bias. 610 $aclass differences. 610 $aclass inequalities. 610 $aclass inequality. 610 $acohort effects. 610 $acreative participation. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $ademocratic dilemma. 610 $ademocratic governance. 610 $adifferential voice. 610 $adisadvantaged. 610 $aeconomic inequality. 610 $aeconomic interests. 610 $aeducated parents. 610 $aeducational attainment. 610 $aegalitarians. 610 $aelections. 610 $aelectoral democracy. 610 $aempirical analysis. 610 $aequal consideration. 610 $aequal political voice. 610 $aequal voice. 610 $aequality. 610 $afamily background. 610 $afederal constitution. 610 $afree rider problem. 610 $ahome politics. 610 $ainequalities. 610 $alife-cycle effects. 610 $amaterial well-being. 610 $amedian voter model. 610 $anational politics. 610 $anonvoters. 610 $aorganizational activity. 610 $aorganized interest activity. 610 $aorganized interest influence. 610 $aorganized interest politics. 610 $aorganized interest representation. 610 $aorganized interest system. 610 $aorganized interests. 610 $aorganized representation. 610 $aparental education. 610 $aparticipatory advantage. 610 $aparticipatory inequalities. 610 $aparticipatory patterns. 610 $apolicy benefits. 610 $apolitical activism. 610 $apolitical activity. 610 $apolitical advantage. 610 $apolitical conflict. 610 $apolitical division. 610 $apolitical inactivity. 610 $apolitical inequality. 610 $apolitical involvement. 610 $apolitical organizations. 610 $apolitical outcomes. 610 $apolitical participation. 610 $apolitical polarization. 610 $apolitical processes. 610 $apolitical recruitment. 610 $apolitical voice. 610 $apressure community. 610 $apressure politics. 610 $apressure system. 610 $apublic officials. 610 $apublic opinion. 610 $apublic policy. 610 $arational prospecting. 610 $aresource constraint. 610 $aresource constraints. 610 $aresource deprived. 610 $aresource disadvantaged. 610 $asocial class. 610 $asocial processes. 610 $asocio-economic status. 610 $asocio-economic stratification. 610 $astate constitutions. 610 $astrategic considerations. 610 $asurvey data. 610 $asurveys. 610 $asystematic empirical data. 610 $atrade-offs. 610 $aunequal political voice. 610 $aunion membership. 610 $avoluntary associations. 610 $avoters. 610 $avoting power. 610 $avoting strength. 610 $avoting. 610 $awebsites. 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aPressure groups 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a323/.0420973 700 $aSchlozman$b Kay Lehman$f1946-$01511689 701 $aVerba$b Sidney$0119953 701 $aBrady$b Henry E$01473408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789921303321 996 $aThe unheavenly chorus$93824083 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03170nam 22006255 450 001 9910767512203321 005 20230616072504.0 010 $a981-9931-81-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-99-3181-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30602017 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30602017 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-99-3181-1 035 $a(PPN)272273600 035 $a(CKB)27060381000041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9927060381000041 100 $a20230616d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Constitution of Western Australia $eAn Exploration /$fby Alan Fenna, Sarah Murray 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (218 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Fenna, Alan The Constitution of Western Australia Singapore : Springer,c2023 9789819931804 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

Conclusion. 330 $aThis book provides the first comprehensive introduction to, and enquiry into, the rules of Western Australia?s (WA) system of government. The WA Constitution is not well known or understood ? or even easy to identify ? and this book provides an essential guide. It brings academic expertise and careful scholarship to the exploration of sometimes complex constitutional issues in a way that will be invaluable for those with specialist interest in constitutional law and government while also being engaging and accessible for a wider audience. In doing so, it combines authorial expertise from constitutional law and political science ? something essential to a well-rounded understanding of the simultaneously legal and political nature of a Constitution. 606 $aConstitutional law 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aExecutive power 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aConstitutional Law 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aExecutive Politics 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aConstitutional law. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aExecutive power. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aConstitutional Law. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aExecutive Politics. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a342.941 700 $aFenna$b Alan$f1958-$01453179 702 $aMurray$b Sarah 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910767512203321 996 $aThe Constitution of Western Australia$93655700 997 $aUNINA
