Alexis de Tocqueville

Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, comte de Tocqueville, was a French aristocrat, diplomat, sociologist, political scientist, political philosopher, and historian. He is best known for his works Democracy in America and The Old Regime and the Revolution (1856).

Democracy in America was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.
