阿莱克西·德·托克维尔（Alexis de Tocqueville）指出，美国民主植根于“平等”这一原则，它使得广泛的政治参与成为可能。“法治”在维护民主稳定方面发挥着至关重要的作用。民主社会鼓励个人主义，但不加约束的个人主义会削弱公民参与和社会凝聚力。民主制度自然会推动社会走向更广泛的平等，但过度的平等可能威胁自由，因为它可能增强公民对国家的依赖。他还认识到，经济自由与政治民主并不总是相契合，因为资本主义可能导致财富不平等，从而为民主治理带来新的挑战。
Alexis de Tocqueville noted American democracy is rooted in the principle of “equality”, which allows for broad political participation. The “rule of law” plays a crucial role in maintaining democratic stability. Democratic societies encourage individualism, which, if unchecked, could also weaken civic engagement and social cohesion. Democracy naturally pushes societies toward “greater equality”, but excessive equality can threaten freedom by making citizens more dependent on the state. He recognized that economic freedom does not always align with political democracy, as capitalism can lead to wealth inequality, creating new challenges for democratic governance.
