Coles American Institutions: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Alexis de Tocqueville's landmark study of the United States arrives here as both a classic of political thought and a practical American edition, enriched with editorial notes and updated census material. Written to help France understand the future of democracy, the book uses America as a living laboratory to examine how liberty survives amid equality, public opinion, and the pressures of modern life. Tocqueville ranges from townships and state governments to the federal Constitution, the majority's power, religion, law, the press, trial by jury, and political associations, showing how each shapes democratic society. He identifies equality of conditions as the defining force of the age, tracing its rise from aristocratic orders to a broader world of talent and popular influence. Admired for his fairness and clarity, he praises American institutions while warning of their dangers: instability, the tyranny of the majority, corruption, and the limits democratic peoples face in war and crisis. The result is a penetrating portrait of America's politics, habits, and future. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
