The present article aims to analyze Tocqueville&rsquo;s expectations<br />concerning the triumph of liberty in the social state of equality. This analysis considers the author&rsquo;s proximity with the germanist ideology developed during the &ldquo;the quarrel of the two races&rdquo;. It is intended to relate tocquevillian conception of freedom to Boulainvilliers&rsquo; one, which has been formulated in the beginning of XVIIth century and reinterpretated by Mably in the pre-revolutionary context.O artigo procura investigar as expectativas de Tocqueville quanto<br />ao triunfo da liberdade no estado social de igualdade, a partir de sua<br />filia&ccedil;&atilde;o com a ideologia germanista, desenvolvida durante a &ldquo;querela das duas ra&ccedil;as&rdquo;. Pretende-se relacionar a concep&ccedil;&atilde;o tocquevilliana de liberdade &agrave;quela formulada por Boulainvilliers, ainda no in&iacute;cio do s&eacute;culo XVII, e reinterpretada por Mably, j&aacute; no contexto Pr&eacute;-revolucion&aacute;rio.
