# De la Démocratie en Amérique, tome premier

_et augmentée d'un Avertissement et d'un Examen comparatif de la Démocratie aux États-Unis et en Suisse_

By Alexis de Tocqueville.

"De la Démocratie en Amérique, tome premier" by Alexis de Tocqueville is a political study published in 1835. After traveling through the United States in 1831 under the pretext of studying prisons, Tocqueville examines America's democratic revolution and egalitarian culture. He analyzes how religious history, government, and economic conditions shaped American society, while questioning the moral and spiritual costs of social mobility and restlessness. The work explores democracy as an effect of industrialization, offering insights that would profoundly influence Western political thought. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
