Keeping in mind Tocqueville’s stated approach, how is Tocqueville trying to persuade readers about the motivations and causes of human action? Is he consistent in his approach? How or how not? Does he use a single method applied in different ways, or different approaches at different points? How does his approach resemble, or vary, from that of Thucydides? In the opening paragraph, Tocquville also tells us that this is not a history, but a study of the French Revolution. What is the difference? Which do you find more effective? Why?
