TL;DR: The authors argue that public opinion strongly influences public policy, and there is reason to believe that adding public opinion to sociologists' empirical analyses of policy change would undermine some of their conclusions about the influence of other factors.
Abstract: The struggle for democracy, central to Western politics for hundreds ofyears, is predicated upon the belief that democratic institutions give citizens considerable power over their government. Whether this belief is correct is a key question in the study of democratic politics. This article argues that this question is neglected by sociologists who examine the determinants of public policy; they neither address theories of democratic responsiveness nor assess the impact of public opinion on public policy. This neglect is problematic for two reasons: there is much evidence that public opinion strongly influences public policy, and there is reason to believe that adding public opinion to sociologists' empirical analyses of policy change would undermine some of their conclusions about the influence of otherfactors. Two ways of responding to these findings are presented. It has been 350 years since the struggle for representative democracy began during the English Revolution. It was then that the Levellers first articulated many ideas still central to democratic thought: that government should be subject to the people; that the rights of citizens should be protected by a written constitution; and that among these rights should be the right to vote, equality before the law, freedom of speech, legal representation, and the right to remain silent during judicial proceedings.'
