This work often notes that people assume their own infallibility in making judgments. This work, which helped introduce Wilhelm von Humboldt's work to English speakers, claims "an Akbar or a Charlemagne" is needed for immature "barbarians" to rise to civility. One chapter of this work describes "individuality" as "one of the elements of well-being". It asks whether non-believers are persecuted by a "Mahomedan" country's ban on eating pork. It's not Democracy in America, but it argues that rules are needed to curb a (*) "tyranny of the majority" and that states should only use power to stop one
