Democracy In America V1 (1862)

Democracy in America is a two-volume book written by French political thinker and historian, Alexis de Tocqueville, in 1835 and 1840. This particular edition, published in 1862, is the first volume of the book. The book provides a detailed analysis of the American political system and society during the 1830s. Tocqueville examines the strengths and weaknesses of democracy in America, exploring the impact of democratic ideals on the country's political institutions, social structure, and culture. Throughout the book, Tocqueville discusses a range of topics, including the role of religion in American society, the relationship between the federal government and the states, and the influence of the media on public opinion. He also examines the impact of slavery on American democracy, arguing that it is a fundamental contradiction that threatens the stability of the country. Tocqueville's analysis is based on his observations of American society during his travels throughout the country in the early 1830s. His insights into the American political system and society have made Democracy in America a classic work of political philosophy and a key text in the study of American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
