Go back to your Salon. One of the things 19th century Europeans admired about America is how average citizens would discuss the important political, social and economic issues of the day.

Conversation in support of "Real Americans Are Involved".
Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859)
He was best known for his works Democracy in America
Tocqueville saw democracy as an equation that balanced liberty and equality, concern for the individual as well as for the community.
As a critic of individualism, Tocqueville thought that through associating, the coming together of people for mutual purpose, both in public and private, Americans are able to overcome selfish desires, thus making both a self-conscious and active political society and a vibrant civil society functioning according to political and civil laws of the state
