Notion of Rights  Dissemination of Wealth


From Democracy in America, Tocqueville:

The government of the democracy brings the notion of political rights to the level of the humblest citizens, just as the dissemination of wealth brings the notion of property within the reach of all men; to my mind, this is one of its greatest advantages.

    Yeah. Tocqueville was thinking of the advantages of democracy. But look what he compared it to.
