Brocker I 122 Political Elections/Spengler: thesis: the question of the electoral system is secondary to the question of who and with what background motives influences the electoral processes.(1) Brocker I 123 Existing constitutional provisions, for example, are absolutely "indifferent to the fact that their application is dominated by a small class of distinguished families". And as far as the modern press is concerned, "the enthusiast may be satisfied if it is constitutionally 'free'; the connoisseur only asks to whom it is available" (2). >Constitution, >State, >Parliamentary system, >Governance, >Freedom of the press. 1.
