17th-18th Century Britain (jan 1, 1599 – jan 1, 1700)
Description:
In 17th-18th century Britain, dependence was perceived as a normal facet of citizenship, as a reciprocal relationship between subjects and the crown. This changes with the American revolution that sought to replace the implementation of subjectship in their society. Instead, voluntary citizenship was viewed as consensual—something that requires independence.
