Answer:

Individualism is more pronounced in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexis de Tocqueville was a french sociologist and traveled to the United States, with the observations of his travel he wrote “Democracy in America” a book where he pointed out his observations on what was going on there.

The major different Tocqueville pointed out in his book was that America presented the most advanced example of equality in action. He also pointed out that individualism was more pronounced in the US which he admired but pointed out a few warnings such as the lack of intermediate social structures that would eventually lead to a tyranny of the majority.
