Am I remembering correctly that all we're told about the "originals" of the clones is that they're from the dregs of society, including law-breakers. Seems to me that those who break the law would tend to be more rebellious than those who don't.
As for the program being mature and maybe deliberately selecting for passivity, it can't be all that mature if it started post-WWII (I think I remember that), considering that the first crop of clones would have needed some 20 years to grow up, and the story is set in the 1990s.
