Democracy In America And Two Weeks In The Wilderness
Article description
In 1831 Tocqueville set out from post-revolutionary France on a journey across America that would take him 9 months and cover 7,000 miles. The result was Democracy in America: a subtle and prescient analysis of the life and institutions of 19th-century America. Tocquevilles study of the strengths and weaknesses of an evolving democratic society has been quoted by every American president since Eisenhower. It remains a key point of reference for any discussion of the American nation or the democratic system.
