The author traces this evolution from the foundation of English society in agricultural settlements, through the Norman Conquest, feudalism, and the emergence of the Exchequer system. The author argues that the growth of the British citizen's liberty was secured through the divergence of interests among different societal groups, resulting in the pursuit of shared benefits.
