According to Tocqueville, why did an elite aristocracy never take root in the United States?

The culture of hard work and the absence of primogeniture were responsible for the absence of elite aristocracy in the United States.

Explanation:

Alexis de Tocqueville who was a French Political theorist was impressed by the democratic nature of the United States in which elite aristocracy was not practiced. He attributed the reasons for this to;

1. The culture of hard work: Unlike in the other European countries, as well as in England where America had its roots, the Americans took pride in hard work as a means of making fortunes and not the inheritance of properties from parents.

2. The absence of the practice of Primogeniture: This was a practice in other European lands where only the firstborn was entitled to his father's estates and other children inherited nothing. This was not the practice in America as there was a way of sharing properties among siblings.

The presence of these factors, Tocqueville noted as the reason for America's democratic nature.
