Pagera Editor's Note
The second volume of Democracy in America, published by Alexis de Tocqueville in 1840, appears here in Henry Reeve's English translation. Where the first volume described American institutions, this one asks how equality of conditions shapes thought, feeling and daily life. Its four sections treat the influence of democracy on intellect, including religion, science, literature and language; on sentiments, with the discussion of individualism and voluntary associations; on manners, from family life and the position of women to honor, ambition and war; and finally on political society, including the kind of despotism that democratic nations have to fear.
