Read Lawrence Lessig's recent article in WIRED Magazine about the Founding Fathers' notion of dependency.
"A citizen was considered dependent when he was not free to act in the public good because his own well-being depended on a particular result. "Nondependency" meant being able to choose what was right, without worrying about personal consequences – no agenda other than a democratic one."
