Tytler’s theory set forth a cycle that every democracy goes through, which goes like this. Tytler said the cycle starts out with a society in bondage. Then it goes in this sequence:
Bondage
Spiritual Faith
Courage
Liberty
Abundance
Selfishness
Complacency
Apathy
Dependence
Then starting over with Bondage
Tytler organized these items in a circle:
Tytler's Cycle is a reminder that, though this nation started as a republic, it has morphed into a democracy which will end badly. As our dependence on government is forging the chains of our bondage, the cycle is nearly complete. But, when all is seemingly lost, there will be a rebirth of the spirit and a renewal of courage resulting in a yearning for freedom and liberty. Might take a while though.
