Summary/Abstract: By the end of the 19th century, liberalism had won in Europe. Fundamental freedoms appeared in the constitutions. However, we also encounter new phenomena in politics and society. The masses appeared in politics and in the economy. Bureaucracy has played a decisive role ewerywhere. What impact have these new phenomena had on politics, in parliament, in the lives of parties? Were they a threat to freedom? The study presents some political thinkers – Gustav Le Bon, Gabriel Tarde, Max Weber, Vilfredo Pareto – who have tried to answer these questions.
