Abstract

131
In order to prevent despotism, Montesquieu indicates the importance of intermediary powers which serve to moderate a monarch’s power. Tocqueville applies these powers to modern times, but in this instance, they also fulfill a second function. They must struggle against a new evil belonging to these new times: individualism. These new intermediary powers must teach individuals to be citizens through participation in public affairs. One of these new powers is municipality.
