It presents a passage from Alexis De Tocqueville's 'Democracy in America' and asks students to read the passage and then identify the main claim and the evidence used to support it. The worksheet includes two labeled boxes, one for 'What is the claim?' and the other for 'What is offered as evidence?'. There's also an image of an American flag.
