Ancient Liberty vs Modern
Something I had not really thought about but makes sense when you think about it, the ancients had a very different version of liberty than we do today, as a result of them being small homogenous cultures for the most part, and us having many different folks living together. Ancient liberty required a much more direct involvement in government, and allowed for one religious view, broadly accounted for, in government. Modern liberty, due to our commercial nature, is found in indirect government and freedom from interference.
