TL;DR: Hibbing and Theiss-Morse as discussed by the authors argue that although the public is deeply disturbed by debate, compromise, delicate pace, the presence of interest groups, and the professionalization of politics, many of these traits are actually endemic to modern democratic government.

TL;DR: The role of antecedent consensus as individual differences in making political tolerance judgments is discussed in this paper, where the model is extended to include the influence of personality in making tolerance judgments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that membership in voluntary associations is a woefully inadequate foundation for good citizenship for three primary reasons: people join groups that are homogeneous, not heterogeneous; civic participation does not lead to, and may turn people away from, political participation; and not all groups promote democratic values.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a large-scale focus group survey with 1,266 randomly selected adults and conducted eight lengthy focus groups at locations around the United States to understand public preferences for governmental procedures.
