Judges exercise public power. The ideal of democracy demands that every exercise of public power ... more Judges exercise public power. The ideal of democracy demands that every exercise of public power should express the will of the people. The popular or general will does not exist, however, as a brute fact, given that the people or the nation can only be conceived as a unity in normative, not natural terms. In other words, the people or the nation has no will because it is not a subject with mental states. The popular or general will must therefore be attributed normatively to a people or nation, itself also a normative construct. This means that, in principle, every exercise of public power, not only judicial power, is problematic from the point of view of democracy. Taken to the extreme, one might even put in doubt whether the legislative powers of our states live up to the ideal of democracy. This is not a merely academic question. The rising level of political apathy that characterises some of our political systems but does not necessarily imply a rejection of democracy as governmental ideal, suggests its increasing practical relevance. The question of the relation between public powers and democracy thus evolves into the question of the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the exercise of public powers can be attributed to the people or the nation. In other words, at issue is the concept of representation. Again, this is a normative question which must be answered starting from moral and political convictions. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of academic professionals to submit
