Looking to America's unique democratic system as a possible model for post-revolutionary France, Tocqueville set about to study the culture, character, and institutions of the evolving nation. "I confess that in America I saw more than America," he said; "I sought the image of democracy itself, with its inclinations, its character, its prejudices, and its passions, in order to learn what we have to fear or hope from its progress."}, recid = {437641}, pages = {24 sound discs (ca. 30 hr., 30 min.) :}, address = {[Ashland, Or.] :}, year = {2010}, }
