The Spirit of Liberty

 
 

"Town meetings are to liberty what primary schools are to science; they bring it within the people's reach, they teach men how to use it and how to enjoy it. A nation may establish a free government, but without [local] institutions it cannot have the spirit of liberty?" 

-Tocqueville, Democracy in America

The type of town meetings Tocqueville is talking about are those where all the adults are expected to show up at least once a week and make the important decisions for the town.

Do we have the spirit of liberty in modern America? Tocqueville says it "cannot" exist without universal participation in local government.
