Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Centuries of American Democracy I have had particularly in mind, in writing this book, the very large number of persons who want to know the main facts and the formative influences in the growth of the United States as a democratic nation, but who nevertheless have no time to read elaborate narratives or to study a series of books on special periods or topics. I hope, however, that the book may also prove useful to students and teachers as a summary narrative around which the details of lectures or comprehensive reading can be grouped. The references to authorities are intended, like the text, primarily for the general reader who may wish to pursue the subject further in books that are most worth while. So many elaborate bibliographies of American history are now available that anyone who desires to follow any particular topic to its limits can easily find guidance, while the systematic student will naturally enlarge his bibliography according to his needs or the library resources at his command.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Order Changeth: A View of American Democracy Any View of a going concern, like our American democracy, inevitably must be a partial view, be cause it must be a fleeting one. The facts about our democracy to-day Obviously are not the facts of yesterday, nor are they the facts of to-morrow. The democracy in the United States which De Tocqueville saw in the early part of the nineteenth century is not the American democracy rising to power in the twentieth century. Perhaps, indeed, we did not have a democracy at all during the early decades of the nineteenth century. Certainly that democracy passed into the more typical republican form of government during the middle and latter decades of the century. And it seems likely that we are about to revert (or progress, if you would choose that verb) from the republican form under which our.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy in America, Vol. 3 Men will not accept truth at the hands Of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends: for this reason I have spoken it. I was persuaded that many would take upon themselves to announce the new blessings which the principle of equality pro mises to mankind, but that few would dare to point out from afar the dangers with which it threatens them. To those perils therefore I have turned my chief attention, and believing that I had discovered them clearly, I have not had the cowardice to leave them untold.

Download or read book Democracy in America Classic Reprint written by Alexis de Tocqueville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy in America: Volume One is probably the most well known work of Alexis De Tocqueville, a French author and philosopher. It is the author's examination of the social and political systems of the United States. Tocqueville's book was a major success upon its release and immediately became popular in both Europe and the United States. It is still considered one of the greatest pieces of political science literature ever written about the United States, and is a foundational text for the further study of the subject matter. It is a well written and highly readable book. The author had visited America on assignment to investigate the penal system, and while conducting his assigned research Tocqueville took a great interest in the larger political system of America. The book is divided into chapters which each focus on a different aspect of the American political and social system. The author approaches his subject matter thematically, highlighting major themes including the distinct spheres of American life, the influence of the country's Puritan foundation, and the importance of the Federal Constitution on daily life. Tocqueville is largely complementary of the American system, and frequently draws on his knowledge of the French system for comparisons. Democracy in America: Volume One remains an important piece of writing nearly two hundred years after its initial publication. Students of political science, particular in the United States, owe it to themselves to become familiar with Tocqueville's work. Anybody interested in the social and political history of the United States is encouraged to add this work to their library.

Download or read book Readings in American Democracy Classic Reprint written by Thames Williamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in American Democracy This volume is designed to accompany the editor's Problems in American Democracy, and the choice and arrangement of the material have been influenced by the plan of that text. In the preparation of this volume the effort has beento secure the advantages of a book of readings, and at the same time to avoid some of the drawbacks common to such compilations. In this connection the special features of the book may be referred to briefly: The editor has attempted to strike a judicious compromise between too long and too short selections. It is intended that each selec tion shall prove sufficiently extended to convey a fair and adequate idea of the author's point of View; on the other hand, the pressure for space in the volume, and the desirability Of suppressing material not bearing directly upon the point involved, have led to careful elimination, and, in some cases, to bracketed insertions. It need not be added that, in such cases, care has been taken not to distort the sense of the original. Despite the wide range Of many Of the chapters, the editor has attempted to choose and to arrange the selections so that each chapter will constitute a logical and unified narrative It is hoped, further, that the volume has gained something of the continuity Of a text from the fact that an editorial paragraph has been used, not only to introduce each selection, but to connect and to weave together the two selections between which it stands. To avoid the unsightliness of type Of varying sizes, the same size of type has been used for both editorial introductions and the selec tions. Care has been taken, however, to indicate precisely where each editorial introduction stops and the selected reading begins. To help the student to understand the selections, and to facilitate reference, marginal notes have been employed throughout the book. A number of questions on the readings is supplied at the end of each chapter. The volume is provided with an index.

Download or read book Democracy in America written by Alexis de Tocqueville and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-18 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) came to America in 1831 to see what a great republic was like. What struck him most was the country's equality of conditions, its democracy. The book he wrote on his return to France, Democracy in America, is both the best ever written on democracy and the best ever written on America. It remains the most often quoted book about the United States, not only because it has something to interest and please everyone, but also because it has something to teach everyone. When it was published in 2000, Harvey Mansfield and Delba Winthrop's new translation of Democracy in America—only the third since the original two-volume work was published in 1835 and 1840—was lauded in all quarters as the finest and most definitive edition of Tocqueville's classic thus far. Mansfield and Winthrop have restored the nuances of Tocqueville's language, with the expressed goal "to convey Tocqueville's thought as he held it rather than to restate it in comparable terms of today." The result is a translation with minimal interpretation, but with impeccable annotations of unfamiliar references and a masterful introduction placing the work and its author in the broader contexts of political philosophy and statesmanship.

The book is a timeless piece of political literature that continues to influence political thought and theory.Alexis de Tocqueville, a French political thinker and historian, was uniquely positioned to write 'Democracy in America' due to his extensive travels and keen observations of American society.
