An essay is presented on French magistrate Gustave de Beaumont's views on the relationship between democracy, moral corruption, and empire. According to the author, Beaumont was concerned that modern democracy corrupted both individuals and society. Details on the theories of Beaumont's travel companion philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville are also presented. Other topics include civil and political associations, Beaumont's writings on Ireland, and the so-called French Doctrinaire liberals.
