Alexis de Tocqueville Quotes


A French political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution.
Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville was a French political thinker and historian best known for his Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840) and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856). In both of these works, he explored the effects of the rising equality of social conditions on the individual and the state in western societies. Democracy in America (1835), his major work, published after his travels in the United States, is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.

Here are some famous quotes by Alexis de Tocqueville.
