Thomas Jefferson envisioned a nation of citizens deeply involved in public life. Today Americans are lamenting the erosion of his ideal. What happened in the intervening centuries? Daniel Kemmis argues that loss of capacity for public life (which impedes our ability to resolve crucial issues) parallels loss of a sense of place.
