Democracy in America V2 (1862)

Democracy in America Volume 2 is a classic work of political philosophy written by French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville in 1862. This book is a continuation of the first volume, which examines the political and social structures of the United States in the early 19th century. In the second volume, Tocqueville focuses on the role of religion, the press, and the arts in American society, as well as the potential dangers of democracy. He argues that while democracy is a powerful force for progress and equality, it is also susceptible to tyranny and the tyranny of the majority. Tocqueville's observations and insights into American democracy are still relevant today and continue to be studied by scholars of political science and philosophy. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of democracy in America.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
