(Here, “moral foundations” is equated with “responsibility.”)
A responsible citizen understands that limited democratic government protects us against statism on the one hand, and tyranny on the other. Recognizing this balance, and the potential for drift toward one pole or the other, responsible citizens organize to make their opinions heard, they vote, and they serve their cause when called. Most importantly, responsible citizens remember that this balance between statism and tyranny–should wins come to their side too often, or too completely–will be lost.
