The mid-1996 elections in India were probably the most dramatic since Indian independence. This paper examines the 1996 elections as a way of gauging the strengths and weaknesses of democratic institutions in Indian federalism and assesses the impact of the elections on these institutions. The scope of the paper is primarily limited to the mide-1996 elections for the Lok Sabha (House of the People). Institutions include the parliamentary system, parties, the cabinet system, the judiciary and the shared power of the centre and the states. Also included are patterns of participation and acceptance of the elections, the results and the limits of authority. (AJPS/DÜI)

Abstract. The opportunity provided by the American Bicentennial for a re‐examination of our political values is also an opportunity for a closer look at the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson. Although Jefferson has been placed, with John Locke, in a "heavenly city of the eighteenth century philosophers" who sought new defenses on behalf of medieval spiritualism and divine law, the present essay contends that Jefferson's epistemological commitments differed from Locke's, and that Jefferson's political theory was far more "modern" than Locke's with respect to the key notions of rights, property, and consent. Some of Jefferson's political conclusions differed from those of Locke either in degree, such as in the details of representation, or in kind, such as in regard to the ownership of property.
