About this book
Creators: Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) and John C. Spencer (1788-1855) [Editor] "American Institutions and Their Influence" by Alexis de Tocqueville is a political analysis published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840. After visiting America in 1831 under the pretext of studying prisons, Tocqueville examined the democratic revolution transforming Western society. He explores how American government, religion, and culture shaped its egalitarian character, while questioning the costs of restless social mobility. The work critically analyzes early nineteenth-century American society and its lessons for a world moving toward equality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
