How has democracy in the United States fared since 1835? What events in American history might support Tocqueville’s claim? What events could be said to refute or disprove it?

Since 1835, democracy in the United States had changed a lot. Since 1835, every legal adult citizen has the right to vote in official election, and every person in America has the opportunity to own land. The system of government, within the first 20 years, had switched from confederate to a federal government. Tocqueville had claimed that the pull of American democracy was dependent on the values of money-- it was "tyranny of the majority". Events that would support that claim would be Americans trading away their liberties, gun control, and single payer health care. Events that could be said to refute the claim would be that American's still have most of our liberty, and the power of money in democracies affects everything.
