Alexis de Tocqueville
Alexis de Tocqueville appears in Trailer: Tocqueville Road Trip, Trailer: Tocqueville Road Trip, Trailer: Tocqueville Road Trip, Trailer: Tocqueville Road Trip, and Trailer: Tocqueville Road Trip as the French observer whose 1831 journey through the United States became Democracy in America. The trailer presents him as a guide to American society whose observations may still help explain the country.
His role in the wiki is less biographical than diagnostic. Tocqueville becomes the historical benchmark for America as Idea: the claim that the United States operates not only as a country, but as a democratic promise with global symbolic force.
