Title Details
Description
For the next nine months, the C-SPAN School Bus will embark upon an extensive road trip exploring Democracy in America. C-SPAN will retrace the steps of Alexis de Tocqueville, author of Democracy in America, who traveled throughout the U.S. in 1831 with his friend, Gustave de Beaumont. Starting in Newport, RI, the bus will wind its way along the eastern half of the U.S. in search of what democracy means today. We'll stop in communities Tocqueville visited and discuss the same issues he raised -- issues such as religion and politics, the impact and power of the press and the changing role of government.
