Democracy is a system of decision-making that limits domination by maximizing participation.
But
Children are almost always excluded from participation in government.
Children are often denied any real power over their own lives- how to spend their time, with whom, and where.
Electoral, representative democracy can lead to policy outcomes that are deeply unpopular and fails to correct for forms of domination arising out of markets and culture.
What if a way to restore the promise of non-domination is to expand democracy to include the youngest members of society?
