Soci 50 May 27 Notes on Tocqueville Alexis de Tocqueville was a French aristocrat (as we shall see, this was important in how he understood what the US was like) who lived from 1805-1859. He came to the US for nine months in 1831 to observe revisions of the prison system, but ended up seeing so much more. His two-volume work Democracy in America (the final volume was published in 1840) was an immediate classic and remains one of the most influential books on political thought (and is now enjoying something of a renaissance). Tocqueville saw the US as the country of the future. By this I mean that he recognized that the changes that had taken place in the US would inevitably arrive in Europe as well. Thus, he wanted to learn all he could about them. In a sense, Tocqueville was concerned with those three pillars of the French Revolution: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity (though today we might use a more gender-neutral term). Liberty and equality might, at some extreme point, be equivalent: "Let us suppose that all the members of the community take a part in the government, and that each one of them has an equal right to take a part in it. As none is different from his fellows, none can exercise a tyrannical power: men will be perfectly free, because they will be entirely equal; and they will be perfectly equal because they will be entirely free."(Vol.2, Book 2, Chap. 1)

Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" Democracy in America, despite its flaws, is important because it captured the essence of America (individualism) at a particular moment in time (the 19th Century), and preserved that snapshot for future generations of America to learn about, no matter how far they may have strayed from that essence today.

Diminutive in stature, acutely sensitive and plagued by severe bouts of anxiety and illness since childhood, Tocqueville remained close to his parents through his life, though outwardly proud and cold. He found it difficult to form deep and lasting relationships but was skilled in his influence of those close to him in small groups. As a youth, he became a lawyer in 1835 and moved easily into government service as the son of a royalist and a peer of France. The July Revolution of 1830 that put the citizen king Louis-Philippe of Orleans on the throne was a turning point, convincing Tocqueville that France was moving toward social equality. He and his friend Beaumont made a journey to America to study the prison system and reforms, 1831-32. Hailed for his writings as a political scientist, he found the following years prestigious and happy.

Chapter XII HOW THE AMERICANS UNDERSTAND THE EQUALITY OF THE SEXES I have shown how democracy destroys or modifies the different inequalities that originate in society; but is this all, or does it not ultimately affect that great inequality of man and woman which has seemed, up to the present day, to be eternally based in human nature? I believe that the social changes that bring nearer to the same level the father and son, the master and servant, and, in general, superiors and inferiors will raise woman and make her more and more the equal of man. But here, more than ever, I feel the necessity of making myself clearly understood; for there is no subject on which the coarse and lawless fancies of our age have taken a freer range. There are people in Europe who, confounding together the different characteristics of the sexes, would make man and woman into beings not only equal but alike. They would give to both the same functions, impose on both the same duties, and grant to both the same rights; they would mix them in all thingstheir occupations, their pleasures, their business. It may readily be con- ceived that by thus attempting to make one sex equal to the other, both are degraded, and from so preposterous a medley of the works of nature nothing could ever result but weak men and dis- orderly women. It is not thus that the Americans understand that species of democratic equality which may be established between the sexes. They admit that as nature has appointed such wide differences between the physical and moral constitution of man and woman, her manifest design was to give a distinct employment to their various faculties; and they hold that improvement does not consist in making beings so dissimilar do pretty nearly the same things, but in causing each of them to fulfill their respective tasks in the best possible manner. The Americans have applied to the sexes the great principle of political economy which governs the manufacturers of our age, by carefully dividing the duties of man from those of woman in order that the great work of society may be the better carried on.

Tocqueville, Alexis de From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Alexandria Library) Next (Alexius Meinong) Alexis de Tocqueville Alexis-Charles-Henri Clérel de Tocqueville (July 29, 1805 – April 16, 1859) was a French political thinker, historian and writer] He was a champion of the nineteenth-century ideals of liberty and democracy , and observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth . An eminent representative of the post-revolutionary political tradition known as liberalism, Tocqueville's advocacy of private charity rather than government aid to assist the poor has often been cited admiringly during the late twentieth and early twenty-first century by political conservatives and classical liberals. His most famous work, Democracy in America (1835), continues to be regarded as the premier commentary on American government and society written by a foreigner. Tocqueville's insights into what made the United States successful have proved informative to the general public and to scholars alike. His observations represented the excitement of sociological discovery, made by, and for (for he wrote for his French compatriots) the eyes of those for whom this style of democracy was entirely novel. His observations regarding the role of the separation of
