A thoughtful young man in a still - young country he succeeded in penning this penetrating study of America's people culture history geography politics legal system and economy. Tocqueville asserts I confess that in America I saw more than America; I sought the image of democracy itself with its inclinations its character its prejudices and its passions in order to learn what we have to fear or hope from its progress.
