Editada en Par\u00eds por primera vez en 1835, hizo c\u00e9lebre a su joven autor, que fue saludado de inmediato como heredero del bar\u00f3n de Montesquieu, por su penetrante observaci\u00f3n, por su elegancia y por la serenidad de su juicio. As\u00ed, pues, no es de extra\u00f1ar que Dilthey hubiera dicho a\u00f1os m\u00e1s tarde que Tocqueville era \u00abel mayor pensador pol\u00edtico desde Arist\u00f3teles y Maquiavelo\u00bb.Dos son los temas de La democracia en Am\u00e9rica: las instituciones norteamericanas como expresi\u00f3n de las costumbres y, en general, el estilo de vida de los Estados Unidos y los principios en que se basa un Estado democr\u00e1tico. La parte inicial de la Democracia desarrolla el primer tema. En ella se describe el funcionamiento de los tres poderes de la Uni\u00f3n: la estructura de los tribunales y los fundamentos del poder judicial, los cuerpos legislativos y la organizaci\u00f3n del poder ejecutivo federal, introducidos por el an\u00e1lisis de la Constituci\u00f3n federal. Se examina el sistema bipartidista y la importancia de las asociaciones, el poder de la mayor\u00eda y sus efectos. Esa parte termina con una serie de cap\u00edtulos dedicados a considerar la influencia de las costumbres y de la religi\u00f3n en el mantenimiento del sistema democr\u00e1tico: \u00abLos cl\u00e9rigos norteamericanos no pretenden atraer hacia la vida futura, sino que abandonan voluntariamente una parte de su coraz\u00f3n a los cuidados de la presente, y se dir\u00eda que consideran los bienes del mundo como objetos importantes, aunque secundarios. Si no se asocian a la industria, se interesan al menos en su progreso y lo aplauden, y mostrando constantemente a los fieles la fidelidad al otro mundo como el gran objetivo de sus temores y esperanzas, nunca les proh\u00edben que busquen honradamente el bienestar de \u00e9ste\u00bb.En la segunda parte est\u00e1 trazada toda la teor\u00eda del Estado democr\u00e1tico que constituye la gran aportaci\u00f3n de Tocqueville, su filosof\u00eda pol\u00edtica. \u00abEl hecho generador\u00bb de la nueva ciencia pol\u00edtica se encuentra, dice Tocqueville, en la igualdad de condiciones que priva en la sociedad norteamericana. La igualdad es la causa; la libertad el efecto: \u00abNo difiriendo entonces ninguno de sus semejantes, nadie podr\u00e1 ejercer un poder tir\u00e1nico, pues, en este caso, los hombres ser\u00e1n perfectamente libres, porque ser\u00e1n del todo iguales y ser\u00e1n perfectamente iguales, porque ser\u00e1n del todo libres\u00bb.A casi doscientos a\u00f1os de distancia de sus primeras ediciones, la vigencia de La democracia en Am\u00e9rica sigue demostrando su indiscutible actualidad de libro cl\u00e1sico de la ciencia pol\u00edtica, su valor de libro de siempre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexis de Tocqueville<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":84931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[23],"product_cat":[7258,5808,5807,5806],"product_tag":[5874],"class_list":["post-23601","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-epub-paradise","product_cat-alexis-de-tocqueville","product_cat-ebooks","product_cat-epub","product_cat-espanol","product_tag-ciencias-sociales","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-left","mobile-align-center","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
