De la démocratie en Amérique

Book • 1850
In this two-volume work, Tocqueville analyzes the democratic revolution he believed had been occurring over several hundred years.

He examines the social, economic, and political conditions in the United States, comparing them to European societies.

Tocqueville discusses the development of equality, the role of religion in American society, and potential threats to democracy such as the 'tyranny of the majority' and 'soft despotism'.

The book is a comprehensive study of American democracy and its implications for other societies.
