“Political liberty, by submitting to all the citizens, without exception, the care and assessment of their most sacred interests, enlarges their spirit, ennobles their thoughts, and establishes among them a kind of intellectual equality that forms the glory and power of a people.”


Benjamin Constant The Liberty of the Ancients Compared with That of the Moderns, 1819
