Question

According to Alexis de Tocquevilles democracy in America which value made America a successful democracy because the government should keep a "hands off" approach to the economy? A)egalitarianism B)individualism C)laissez-faire D)liberty

Answer 1

C)laissez-faire

Step-by-step explanation:

Laissez-faire is a French expression, which means, in simple translation "let the market do". This term is the greatest symbol of economic liberalism and claims that the government of a country must stay away from trade, not being able to "get their hands on" that sector and let the trade itself regulate itself. In that case, the government should only maintain property rights and not engage in any kind of commercial pursuit.

As can be seen in the question above, Tocquevilles is talking about Laissez-faire, as he is arguing about the government's departure from trade.
