About the Book

"Democracy in America" is a landmark work written by French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville, first published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840. It stands as one of the most influential studies of American society and politics in the 19th century. Key Themes and Insights: Democracy's Impact: Tocqueville explores the nature and consequences of democracy in the United States.
