Historien et homme politique français, Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) est l'auteur du fameux De la démocratie en Amérique. Mais jeune homme de vingt-trois ans rêvant d'aventure et d'exotisme, il songe à s'établir dans ce pays et, en conséquence, se montre favorable à sa conquête.
Over the course of nine months in 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker, and accompanied by Gustave de Beaumont, travelled the United States under the pretext of studying the American prison system. Over the course of his travels, Tocqueville also studied American society, religion, politics, and economics, undertaking what would become one of the most comprehensive studies to that time of the practice of democracy in the United States.
Democracy in America: Volume I explores the factors that contributed to the success of democracy in the United States, as well as the possible future of democracy in light of the unique religion and socio-economic factors that existed in the United States at that time. It was first published in 1835, preceding Volume II by approximately five years. Democracy in America is today considered one of the foundational works of political science.
