Worthy of kings! 24 April 2011
By Lyne Frost - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Tocqueville came to America to expose himself to something new, a representative democracy. The words he penned while he toured the world is both epic and everlasting. Many people overlook this author because they assume it will be heavy and outdated, but they would be wrong. Here is a person who saw something fabulous and terrifying in how we ran our country. Concepts such as the American Dream seemed to go against everything European scholars spoke up, yet it works. Take a chance and enjoy a little Tocqueville!!!

Great book, formatting needs work 11 May 2012
By Gary Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is, of course, volume 2 of the classic work. Anyone who has read this work knows how important it is. Unfortunately, it is not formatted as well as it could be, as another reviewer has noted. If you want to see an example of an extremely well-formatted book, as well as one which may be even better written, check out The 21st Century Constitution by Barry Krusch. That book explains how we can have democracy in America today, something we could all use.

Another great classic is Bernard Mandeville's Fable of the Bees. Now I wish that one were available on Kindle!!

Kindle edition has no links 4 Mar 2009
By Barbara De Roes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Kindle edition has NO hyperlinks in the document. It gets better.

When you search on the word "chapter," none of the chapter beginnings are found, supposedly because the chapter heading is an IMAGE, not text.

I'll try other editions, and if needed, a download from Mobi, and report back on whether I can find a version of this book that can be used with a linked Table of Contents.

In the principle of equality I very clearly discern two tendencies; the one leading the mind of every man to untried thoughts, the other inclined to prohibit him from thinking at all. &quote;
