American democracy, properly speaking, has been a process and not a product, a quest and not a discovery. But a greater danger which has been nourished by our success In tech­ nology has been the belief In solutions. For technological problems there are solutions. In human history In the long run there are no solutions, only problems. Every seeming solution Is a new problem. When we think about American democratic society, then, we must learn not to think about a condition, but about a process; not about democracy, but about the quest for democracy. The most distinctive feature of our system Is not a system, but a quest, not a neat arrangement of men and Institutions, but a flux. What other society has ever com­ mitted Itself to so tantalizing, so fulfilling, so frustrating a community enterprise?
