Considerations on Representative Government by John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)Author: LibriVox
Mill's volume was published in 1861 as an argument favoring this form of governance.

He details appropriate functions of representative bodies and warns of problems to avoid. He distinguishes between true and false democracy. Other areas covered include how voting is carried out, the role of a second chamber in Parliament, and how an executive branch might function.
