When citizens can only meet in public for certain purposes, they regard such meetings
as a strange proceeding of rare occurrence, and they rarely think at all about it. When
they are allowed to meet freely for all purposes, they ultimately look upon public
association as the universal, or in a manner the sole, means which men can employ to
accomplish the different purposes they may have in view.
-Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1840
