The answer is C. Alexis de Tocqueville.
After a trip to America in 1831, he wrote the text <em>Democracy in America</em>, and in it he says: <em>“the social condition of the Americans is eminently democratic; this was its character at the foundation of the colonies, and it is still more strongly marked at the present day.”</em>
