He wanted to learn about the democratic system.

(Brief clarification: Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont were officially sent by the French government in 1831 to study American prisons, but Tocqueville became chiefly interested in how democracy and equality shaped American society and wrote Democracy in America.)
