I want to know the answer to the following question:
From where did Tocqueville believe the illusory power of the men of letters came from?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Alexis de Tocqueville described the French Revolution as the inevitable result of the radical opposition created in the 18th century between the monarchy and the men of letters of the Enlightenment.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
