Abstract

A free economic life, freedom of association and the importance of religion in society are some of the aspects highlighted by both Alexis de Tocqueville in Democracy in America and Jacques Maritain in Reflections on America about Americans despite the fact that they spent more than 125 years between the visit of both to the United States. They found a freedom-loving people with a strong sense of obligation and love of helping others who remain relevant and can help Americans discover and understand themselves today.
