Something else to consider: Bastiat was born under Napoleon, and he well understood the nature of the French Revolution and the socialism and despotism that arose from it. He looked across the Atlantic and saw that the fruits of the American Revolution were much sweeter -- though still not perfect.

Like de Toqueville, Bastiat was in a fine position to tell us exactly how right the Founding Fathers really were.
