Democracy in America is the translated version of the classic French text, De la Démocratie en Amérique, by Alexis de Tocqueville. In the book - published in two volumes, the first in 1835 and the second in 1840 - Tocqueville examines the democratic revolution that he believed had been occurring over the past seven hundred years.
In 1831, Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and ambitious civil servant, made a nine-month journey throughout America. The result was Democracy in America, a monumental study of the life and institutions of the evolving nation. Tocqueville looked to the flourishing democratic system in America as a possible model for post-revolutionary France, believing that the egalitarian ideals it enshrined reflected the spirit of the age and even divine will. His insightful work has become one of the most influential political texts ever written on America and an indispensable authority on democracy.
