Help Search: Biography of Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) Alexis de Tocqueville Alexis de Tocqueville was born in Paris on July 29, 1805. Tocqueville's father was a royalist prefect from Normandy who supported the Bourbon monarchy, his great-grandfather was a liberal aristocrat killed in the French Revolution, and his mother was a devout Roman Catholic who strongly advocated a return on the Old Regime. Tocqueville's father's appointments as prefect of different towns meant that he lived away from the family for much of Tocqueville's early life. In his father's absence, Abbe Lesueur was Tocqueville's tutor. At age 16 Tocquevile entered the College Royal in Metz to study philosophy. During this time Tocqueville began to have doubts about the role of the aristocracy in French government and suffered a deep religious crisis that would effect him for the rest of his life. After finishing at the College Royal at age 18, Tocqueville moved back to Paris where he studied law. In the meantime, Tocqueville's father's career had been steadily advancing until, in 1826, he became prefect of Versailles (the most influential prefecture in France) and in 1827 was made a peer by Charles X. At the same time, Tocqueville received a position as apprentice magistrate at the Versailles court of law. During this period Tocqueville began to have increasingly liberal sympathies as a result of his belief that the decline of the aristocracy was inevitable.

6. A Perspective From The Past Alexis De Tocqueville Alexis De Tocqueville’s, Democracy in America, is a very famous book, but one that I had never read. It is a lengthy and remarkable volume. http://www.unlessthelordmagazine.com/articles/a_perspective_from_the_past.htm

A Perspective From the Past Alexis De Tocqueville - 1830s "You do not see American women directing concerns outside the range of the family, or handling business dealings, or entering politics." "Nor have Americans ever imagined that the result of democratic principle would be to overturn a husband’s authority or to introduce any ambiguity about who is in charge in the family." "if I am asked how we should account for the unusual prosperity and growing strength of this nation, I would reply that they must be attributed to the superiority of their women." - Alexis De Tocqueville, Democracy in America I was recently listening to a recorded message by Doug Phillips of Vision Forum, when he quoted some of De Tocqueville’s remarks about the women of America in the 1830s. Such quotes remind us of one of the prime reasons for studying history. History gives us a perspective from other times, with which to evaluate our own times. We can be so focused on the "here and now" that we fail to consider that things have not always been the same. Many of the views of today that are almost universally accepted and held to be right, are actually quite recent in origin and originated from dubious sources.

Alexis de Tocqueville Democracy in America Excerpts from the Original Electronic Text at the web site of American Studies, University of Virginia. Book 1 Chapter 13: GOVERNMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA I AM well aware of the difficulties that attend this part of my subject; but although every expression which I am about to use may clash, upon some points, with the feelings of the different parties which divide my country, I shall still speak my whole thought. In Europe we are at a loss how to judge the true character and the permanent instincts of democracy, because in Europe two conflicting principles exist and we do not know what to attribute to the principles themselves and what to the passions that the contest produces. Such is not the case in America, however; there the people reign without impediment, and they have no perils to dread and no injuries to avenge. In America democracy is given up to its own propensities; its course is natural and its activity is unrestrained, there, consequently, its real character must be judged. And to no people can this inquiry be more vitally interesting than to the French nation, who are blindly driven onwards, by a daily and irresistible impulse, towards a state of things which may prove either despotic or republican, but which will assuredly be democratic. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE I HAVE already observed that universal suffrage has been adopted in all the states of the Union; it consequently exists in communities that occupy very different positions in the social scale. I have had opportunities of observing its effects in different localities and among races of men who are nearly strangers to each other in their language, their religion, and their modes of life; in Louisiana as well as in New England, in Georgia as in Canada. I have remarked that universal suffrage is far from producing in America either all the good or all the evil consequences which may be expected from it in Europe, and that its effects generally differ very much from those which are attributed to it.

Alexis de Tocqueville: from Recollections Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859), trained as a lawyer and magistrate, made his name when, in 1835, he published his famous essay, Democracy in America. The admired friend of men such as J. S. Mill, Tocqueville was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1839 and to the French Academy in 1841, and came to be regarded as an outstanding man, liberal but detached. Opposing the extremism of both Left and Right, Tocqueville, who in 1849 had served briefly as foreign minister of the Second Republic, retired from public life after Louis Napoleon's coup of 1851, and spent his remaining years in writing history and compiling his own Recollections, from which the following passages are taken.
