It is obvious how free movement of the person and his involvement in spatially more distant relations emerged from this situation. Not only the eradication of the external bond to the soil was involved, but also the very condition of the laborer as one who receives work first in one place, then in another.

DEFINE: Clarifies the concept of alienable property and its connection to personal freedom and spatial mobility.
