IntroductionTocqueville's belief that women play an essential role in shaping society cannot be separated from his emphasis on the importance of good values ​​and morals to maintain and achieve social prosperity and stability. , especially in a democracy. According to Tocqueville, the term morals referred to the various notions that men possessed different opinions and to the set of ideas that shape mental habits. According to Tocqueville, morals constitute one of the great general causes responsible for the maintenance of the democratic republic in the United States. According to Brooks et al (2000p.89), morals are particularly influential and crucial in democratic societies because of the freedom people enjoyed from the strong role of public opinion and the weakness of general authority. Women have an important responsibility precisely in democratic societies because of their ability to influence and shape morals. As Tocqueville says, “there has never been a free society without morals, and… it is always women who shape morals. Thus, everything that concerns the status of women, their thoughts and their habits are, in my opinion, of great political importance” (Tocqueville and Mayer, 1969 p.97). Nimtz (2003 p.46) pointed out that the main avenue through which women shape morals is through their roles as mothers and wives. Tocqueville argues that the respect given to the institution of marriage in society impacts the well-being and order of that society as a whole. Schleifer and Liberty Fund (2000) claimed that from Tocqueville's observations he discovered that the United States was the country with the most respectful marriage institution...... middle of paper ... ...m, Tocqueville feared that democratic societies would end up being too immutably fixed by the same prejudices, institutions and mores, so that humanity would halt its progress and dig into itself (Tocqueville and Mayer, 1969). on democracy which is general to morals is as described by Tocqueville and Reeve (2009 p.66), to make them even gentler. This implies that people do not have terrible vices in general, but also lack extraordinary virtues. Tocqueville, himself an aristocrat, lamented the loss of great honor, heroism, virtue and intelligence. Yet he believed that the growth of equality was doomed to failure and that because great personalities did not tend simply to create democratic societies, there was no alternative but to make good use of the situation and rejoice in the absence of terrible vices..
