Tocqueville emphasizes the idea of the Puritan mores providing a solid foundation for American democracy. He felt that the mores of Puritanism lead to the creation of virtuous and just social contracts, which are the basis for government. “When one looks from close up, one perceives that what has long made absolute governments prosper is religion and not fear” (Tocqueville, Democracy in America, p. 89).
