As they cannot destroy either the one or the other of these contrary propensities, they strive to satisfy them both at once. They devise a sole, tutelary, and all-powerful form of government, but elected by the people. They combine the principle of centralization and that of popular sovereignty; this gives them a respite: they console themselves for being in tutelage by the reflection that they have chosen their own guardians."

As De Tocqueville argued, the independent persons of the democratic age, when they find themselves vulnerable, look outward for assistance. They can't receive it from their equals, who are disinterested, so they look for it from the state. Yet the idea of equality forbids, absolutely, this state providing social guarantees in a politically despotic manner. That would re-introduce personal dependency in a new guise. Clientelism, patrimonialism, patronage would be returned. So a new kind of state is required. This is the administrative or tutelary state. It instantiates a new kind of rule—the rule of knowledge—and as we shall see in a minute—also a new kind of power or sovereignty—viz. Democratic Power or Democratic Sovereignty.",

Yet the idea of equality forbids, absolutely, this state providing social guarantees in a politically despotic manner. That would re-introduce personal dependency in a new guise. Clientelism, patrimonialism, patronage would be returned. So a new kind of state is required. This is the administrative or tutelary state.
