Which of the following is a value alexis de tocqueville saw as essentially american? a. justice b. authoritarianism c. populism d. control

c. populism

Explanation:

Mr. de Tocqueville watched the decay of the government and privileged and the ascent of vote based systems. However, he noticed that the ascent of vote based system, democracy in this case, changed considerably between different nations.  

In spite of the fact that de Tocqueville applauded America's focus on the idea of equality and supporting people to assume a role  in the political procedure, he felt that an overemphasis on individuality and materialism would debilitate a popular government and the capacity to think about the benefit of all.

Generally speaking, Populism is a set of political practices that are justified in an appeal to the "people," generally opposing this group to an "elite." There is no single definition of the term, which emerged in the nineteenth century and has come to mean different meanings ever since.
