Before I Enter Upon The Subject Of The Present Chapter, I Am Induced To
Remind The Reader Of What I Have More Than Once Adverted To In The
Course Of This Book. The Political Institutions Of The United States
Appear To Me To Be One Of The Forms Of Government Which A Democracy May
Adopt But I Do Not Regard The American Constitution As The Best, Or As
The Only One Which A Democratic People May Establish. In Showing The
Advantages Which The Americans Derive From The Government Of Democracy,
I Am Therefore Very Far From Meaning, Or From Believing, That Similar
Advantages Can Be Obtained Only From The Same Laws.
