Civic duties aren't static artifacts; they've been created, altered, and destroyed in response to cultural pressures. Because individual liberty and social obligation are dialectically linked, it doesn't make sense to decide liberty claims in a purely time-bound way. (Cough, Dobbs.)

The article explores the (mostly) forgotten concept of duties owed to the state. For decades, judges would just say that certain legal compulsions rested on societal obligations, thereby negating associated liberty claims. And plenty of modern laws still function as a form of conscription.
