We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading, featuring selections from Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America with a foreword by former Senator Ben Sasse.

Tocqueville visited America in 1831 intending to study its penal system and provide a recommendation to his home country as to whether the US offered a worthwhile model to follow. Unimpressed by Washington, he became convinced as he traveled more widely that the genius of America was not its political leaders or legislative process, but the “little platoons” of community associations and institutions that largely set societal norms, expectations and customs — and with it, the character and ideals of the country. Tocqueville’s insights are more relevant than ever in these turbulent times.
