 What were the five values crucial to America’s success according to Alexis de Tocqueville?

 Constitutional Republic: a nation where the officials are elected as representatives of the people, and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over citizens.  Beliefs: Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction.  Values: Important and enduring beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture.

 America was founded on principles, a vision of what’s possible, making it unique among nations.  Other nations found their identify and cohesion in ethnicity, geography partisan ideology or cultural tradition.  America, by contrast, was founded on ideas about freedom, about human dignity, about social responsibility.

 Alexis de Tocqueville coined the term in his work Democracy in America.  Based on his observations on a trip to America in  Identified five values crucial to America’s success as a democratic republic.

 Liberty – individuals are free to purse their own work.

 Egalitarianism – there is no social class distinctions; the poor do not defer to the rich and vice versa.  American values reinforce and reward the spirit of hard work and money making. Herman Cain President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza

 Individualism – everyman has the same opportunity to succeed or fail. Joke, you can laugh now!

 Populism – all individuals are allowed an opinion and are able to voice it.

 Laissez-faire – hard work and money making lead to success.

E PLURIBUS UNUM  “Out of many, one”  Proposed to Congress in 1782 as the unofficial motto.  Appears on most government tender and seals.  Symbolized the 13 original States uniting together to form on compact and represented body.

IN GOD WE TRUST  Became the official motto of the U.S. in 1956, the motto can be found on U.S. coins dating back to the 160s and paper currency since 1956.

 The belief in the Constitution and the rights in the Bill of Rights helps bond Americans together and gives the hope of liberty and a better future for themselves and their children.

Directions: create a web graphic organizer including examples of each of Alexis de Tocqueville’s five values of America’s success as a constitutional republic: liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism, and laissez-faire.
