"From this increase of intelligence, several effects may be confidently anticipated� they will become even less willing than at present to be led and governed, and directed into the way they should go, by the mere authority and prestige of superiors... The theory of dependence and protection will be more and more intolerable to them, and they will require that their conduct and condition shall be essentially self-governed."
John Stuart Mill
