This theory takes the philosophical view that man is rational and able to discern between truth and falsehood and, therefore, can choose between a better and worse alternative. Man is capable of determining his own destiny, and given all the facts will make the right choice.
Rooted in this theory is the belief held by Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, that if man exercised reason, the majority, as a group, would make sound decisions, even if individual citizens might not.
Jefferson said, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate for a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them."
