A short summary of the book Democracy in America:
Everything you have ever wanted to know about the US government but were afraid to ask.
The book also contains a lot of information you never thought of asking.
My favorite Alexis de Tocqueville quote from the book:
"Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom."
Questions to ponder while reading Democracy in America:
Do you understand your representation?
Do you understand your rights and responsibilities?
My review of the book:
An in-depth look at the inner workings of our government.
It is incredibly detailed.
One of the most necessary books for every American (yes, I know it was written by a Frenchman)
