American Institutions And Their Influence

American Institutions and Their Influence by Alexis de Tocqueville was originally published in 1835. This edition was translated by Henry Reeve and published in 1851. The work is a socio-political portrait of American and its constitution perhaps the best known image of the country by a foreigner. It maps with a clear vision the elementary forces working beneath the surface of history and society to produce what has been considered by many a stunningly accurate analysis.
