One aspect of the American democracy that Alex de Tocqueville found so unusual was the fact that there were so many voluntary associations that were so varied and numerous and played a role in American politics. In Europe at the time, nothing was quite as comparable.

In the early part of the 19th century, famed writer Alexis de Tocqueville predicted that by the end of the 19th century, the US and Russia would be the dominating world power nations. While others shared this view, it lost currency by the Russian failure in the Crimean War. In Russia's 1877 war with Turkey, Russia's performance was less than notable. Tocqueville's prediction on the US also lost support as the US demobilized its armed forces after the US Civil War.

What branch of government is responsible for the US to be the first nation that established a stable enduring democratic government according to Publius and Tocqueville?

While De Tocqueville admired the US democratic system, he did not hold one specific branch responsible for 'stable government'. If he had, it would probably be the independent Judiciary. As to Publius - you don't tell us which one of the many ancient Romans called Publius you mean - all of them predate the US by about 2,000 years so they did not have an opinion on US democracy.
