Focusing on Hans Kelsen's political thought, this analysis highlights his often-overlooked reflections on democracy, emphasizing his original arguments defending parliamentary institutions against criticism. The study explores the interplay between Kelsen's political and legal theories, his realistic approach to the democratic ideal, and his views on the sources of state cohesion within a democratic framework. Through these inquiries, it sheds light on the complexities of Kelsenian democratic theory and its relevance in contemporary discussions about democracy.
