Philosopher John Stuart Mill called it \"among the most remarkable productions of our time.\" Woodrow Wilson wrote that de Tocqueville's ability to illuminate the actual workings of American democracy was \"possibly without rival.\" For today's readers de Tocqueville's concern about the effect of majority rule on the rights of individuals remains deeply meaningful.
