For de Tocqueville, the problem is whether we should pursue equality in freedom or the equality in sovereignty. There is different kinds of equalities and I feel that even today it is still a huge problem. De Tocqueville when he is talking about equality he is more addressing rights and powers. For example right now in the central government, we are passing lots of civil laws and acts. It is good that we are trying to make the country better by making more legislation but at the same time the central government is getting more power over states. I feel that the central government is getting too big, and maybe a third party should step in the bicameral system. I feel that there should be a change because right now the numbers are too close and not enough reforms are talking place.
