    The correct answer is D. It respected the authority of all people, not just the elites.

    Indeed, one of the five principles that Tocqueville was populism, which he described as sovereignty of the people, all the people. He also warned Americans about the dangers of aristocracy for the sovereign people and predicted that an industrial aristocracy would rise to threaten American democracy.
