It’s indenture, bondage,
“condition of a serf or slave”

A servant or slave employed in husbandry, and in some countries attached to the soil and transferred with it, as formerly in Russia.

In England, at least from the reign of Henry II, one only, and that the inferior species [of villeins], existed . . . But by the customs of France and Germany, persons in this abject state seem to have been called serfs, and distinguished from villeins, who were only bound to fixed payments and duties in respect of their lord, though, as it seems, without any legal redress if injured by him. –Hallam.

Thanks for the article.

Seems the general mentality of politics never rises above the 4th or 5th grade level of exchanging insults in lieu of argumentation.
