		Ames, an obscure Federalist from Dedham, Massachusetts, born in 1758, entered public life at the age of thirty as a delegate to his state's ratifying convention.
		Ames was especially telling in his criticism of ideologues of any description.
		To foist it upon most European peoples in the eighteenth century--or upon most Asian, African, and Latin American peoples in the twentieth --would be, in Ames's analogy, like rearing a man to slavery from birth, and then suddenly freeing him to the responsibilities of citizenship at the age of twenty-one.

		Revolutionary hero and Federalist Fisher Ames delivered a public address in 1809 that condemned American scholarship as greatly inferior to that conducted in Europe.
		Ames molded his charge around the critique that all American scholars were deprived of the advantage enjoyed by Gibbon in his English libraries; thus, Ames' condemnation hinges on a lack of equal access.
		My example of Ames and Adams may seem a tempest in a teapot, but bear in mind that equal and equitable access to information form the basis for democratic discourse and, consequently, participation (Gibbon's judgment of the last Romans provides plenty of lessons in citizenship.).
