Throughought the entirety of human history, nearly all people have lived under some form of tyranny or another be it communism, monarchism, progressivism, fascism, or theocracy; some tyrannies heredity, others established by fiat or coup, and yet still other tyrannies as the result of elections such as Democratic Socialism. America has stood alone in human history as the one exception to the rule of rulers.

*The notion that in many respects America is unique in the world in called American "exceptionalism."<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Roots-Obamas-Rage-Dinesh-DSouza/dp/1596986255 The Roots of Obama's Rage]</ref>

[[Alexis de Tocqueville]] is commonly cited as the originator of the phrase, and once said that the United States held a special place among nations because it was a country of immigrants and the first modern democracy. He specifically cited the American Founding as the basis of this exceptionalism. Tocqueville wrote:

{{quotation|The position of the Americans is therefore quite exceptional, and it may be believed that no democratic people will ever be placed in a similar one. Their strictly Puritanical origin, their exclusively commercial habits, even the country they inhabit, which seems to divert their minds from the pursuit of science, literature, and the arts, the proximity of Europe, which allows them to neglect these pursuits without relapsing into barbarism, a thousand special causes, of which I have only been able to point out the most important, have singularly concurred to fix the mind of the American upon purely practical objects. His passions, his wants, his education, and everything about him seem to unite in drawing the native of the United States earthward; his religion alone bids him turn, from time to time, a transient and distracted glance to heaven. Let us cease, then, to view all democratic nations under the example of the American people.<ref>[[Alexis de Tocqueville]], ''Democracy in America'', Volume 2, page 36-37</ref>}}
