Which best describes alexis de tocqueville?

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French thinker, jurist, politician and historian, precursor of classical sociology and one of the most important ideologists of liberalism. Tocqueville is known for his works "Democracy in America", which had two volumes - the first in 1835 and the second in 1840 - and by "The Old Regime and the Revolution", published in 1856.

He had an active participation in French politics of the 19th century, during the July Monarchy between 1830 and 1848, and then in the period known as the Second French Republic, between 1849 and 1851, which happened after the French Revolution of 1848. Later he would begin to work on his work The Ancient Regime and the Revolution. For it he argued about the importance of the French Revolution, which was to continue the process of modernization and centralization of the French state, which had begun under Louis XVI. He died in 1859, the product of tuberculosis that had been afflicting him for a long time.

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.
