Why was European Democracy not as successful as the American Democracy?

American democracy unleashed full freedom which meant despotism by commoners. Religion in America checked this despotism by idealising a sense of obligation in the masses.

In Europe, the Champions of freedom attacked Religion and created a Despotism not adhering to anything. Lack of self restraint caused the demolition of Europe.

Not by me but by - Tocquville.

When this happens stagnation occurs. Also, some of the wealth in this country is because some Americans are driven by greed. Americans are more focused on money. What you focus on grows
