Originally published in two volumes, in 1835 and 1840, this classic by a French political scientist offers insightful views of the newly formed United States. Alexis de Tocqueville identified the foundations underlying the nation's successful democracy, intending to foster the same principles in the government of postrevolutionary France. Two centuries later, his work remains among the most perceptive and influential surveys of American politics and society.
