Advantages of Democracy.
T ended the previous ch and begins this ch saying aristocracies avoid fads/whims and know how to govern better than democracies, but that democracies of a well-educated public can overcome these deficiencies over time and with experience. Also, T says aristocracies favor their own at the expense of the poor whereas democracies work for "the well-being of the greatest number". -p 238

Gov't of the Democracy in America.
"[Infrequent elections mean] the state is exposed to the perils of a revolution, [frequent elections mean,] to perpetual mutability; the former system threatens the very existence of the government, the latter prevents any steady and consistent policy. The Americans have preferred the second of these evils to the first.... Hence their legislation is strangely mutable."-p 206
