    I believe that Tocqueville who wrote the book Democracy in America published in 1835 thought that a committment to the common good was essential to democracy because in a democracy it is not just about the rights of a particular individual but about the collective rights of all citizens by virtue of being human and having basic needs such as freedom (he criticized slavery) the need for education, health care and food and shelter.
