In Universal History, he wrote:“It is a matter of regret that the history of mankind does not exhibit one example of a government established upon democratic principles, and bearing the marks of long duration, and internal security.”So while Tytler was critical of democracy, especially ancient Athens, he did not predict a doom cycle based on voters plundering the treasury. He was far more nuanced and historical in his analysis.</blockquote>
