De la Démocratie en Amérique, tome deuxième by Alexis de Tocqueville
"De la Démocratie en Amérique, tome deuxième" by Alexis de Tocqueville is a political and social treatise published in 1840. Following his travels through 1830s America, Tocqueville analyzes democracy's influence on society, ideas, and intellectual life. He examines democracy's potential dangers, including the risk of "soft despotism" and tyranny of the majority. The work explores how democratic passions, particularly the desire for equality, might threaten individual liberty and freedom. (This is an
