I don't know of any specific books but I believe Randy Barnett has written on the superiority of the AoC.
As far as de Tocqueville he has some incredibly accurate insights. I think he judges and explains the political character of America at the time very well. It's definately worth looking at.
The best passage in the book is the forth paragraph in this link

I was cleaning behind my couch today and found some government. It's a damn infestation...
I'm considering a social experiment that might get me arrested. I would like to sit down in a visible public place and wait until somebody in authority takes me into custody. How long do you think it would take?
