For centuries American Democracy has changed the world, through example and its continuance through many national and international issues.
Alexis de Tocqueville, was a French political thinker who traveled through America in the early 1800s or 19th century, who published his observations on the American experiment in his book, Democracy in America, which looks not only at the government itself but of the affects that this form of government, and the ways of thinking that parallel it, have on the lifestyle of the people that live under it.
I would like to highlight three chapters, 8 - 10 of Volume 2, that I found particularly interesting and that relate to the class topics of American Democracy and the changes in the family in the 19th century discussed last week.
