Apply that to any situation and you will see it to be true

2019-09-05 23:02:24 UTC  

The more powerful a State is and the less restrictions it has the worse off its people will be Liberty wise

2019-09-05 23:02:37 UTC  

That's not true.

2019-09-05 23:02:37 UTC  

And how did America get that powerful? Because the people created a state that was limited in it's power to control their lives.

2019-09-05 23:02:50 UTC  

Chance, coincidence. @Jym

2019-09-05 23:03:05 UTC  

The weaker the State is with more restrictions the better the people will be liberty wise

2019-09-05 23:03:58 UTC  

We need a Minarchist State with a Constitution similar to the US one to ensure maximum liberty without being reduced to Anarchy

2019-09-05 23:04:10 UTC  

I disagree.

2019-09-05 23:04:36 UTC  

Yeah a coincidence. That a small set of colonies created a nation. That that nation became a regional power. That that regional power came out on top of a series of global conflicts. That afterwards it expanded to global hegemony. How many 6s do I have to roll before you start thinking the dice might be loaded?

2019-09-05 23:04:48 UTC  

Name one situation where a powerful state with no restrictions has been freer then a State which is weaker and has restrictions

2019-09-05 23:05:11 UTC  

Not loaded. Simply fortunate.

2019-09-05 23:05:17 UTC  

Isolationism worked for them.

2019-09-05 23:05:39 UTC  
2019-09-05 23:05:57 UTC  

In comparison to what

2019-09-05 23:06:42 UTC  

Compared to America.

2019-09-05 23:07:14 UTC  

Yeah Ooopsie! Just kinda stumbled into being the greatest power in human history. That darned luck!

2019-09-05 23:07:27 UTC  

Unironically, yes.

2019-09-05 23:07:33 UTC  

Your geography allowed for that.

2019-09-05 23:07:46 UTC  

And your isolationism until that time made it even more likely.

2019-09-05 23:08:44 UTC  

Switzerland is similar to the US and does not contradict my statement because neither has a strong state with no restrictions

2019-09-05 23:09:09 UTC  

Switzerland is a strong state with few restrictions.

2019-09-05 23:09:24 UTC  

It has a constitution

2019-09-05 23:09:35 UTC  

That is a major restriction

2019-09-05 23:10:26 UTC  

Which is quite small.

2019-09-05 23:10:53 UTC  

Which was of course all luck. It's not like the westward expansion covered more ground per year than the Mongol Empire. It's not like we defeated the Spanish to become a regional power. Winning the Rockies (a rather substatial *geographic barrier*) was just sort of happenstance. Knocking a hole through the middle of a continent (Pannama) was just sort of happenstance. Inteveining in two world wars at preciselty the moment it would have the largest impact at the lowest cost was all dumb luck.

2019-09-05 23:11:49 UTC  

It has 35 articles on Fundamental Rights, Citizenship and Social Goals, How exactly is that small?

2019-09-05 23:11:52 UTC  

Most of that comes from what? ...

2019-09-05 23:11:56 UTC  

Location, location, location.

2019-09-05 23:12:02 UTC  

Dumb, luck.

2019-09-05 23:12:24 UTC  

Then there's the resources under your feet.

2019-09-05 23:12:27 UTC  

Again, luck.

2019-09-05 23:12:54 UTC  

I tip my hat to you weez, from one legend to another

2019-09-05 23:13:29 UTC  

Also Switzerland isn't as free as the US

2019-09-05 23:13:41 UTC  

Not by a long shot

2019-09-05 23:13:56 UTC  

So if you are claiming that it has a strong state you are proving my point

2019-09-05 23:14:19 UTC  

I am reminded here of a chemistry proctor when I was an undergrad. She did not like my solution to a problem (I was in the habit of using matrices over algebra). She said my math was "wrong".

I asked was the answer correct?

Yes.

Is it an odd number question in the text?

Yes.

Is it accurate to two decimal places?

Yes.

Well mam if my math is wrong I am an incredibly good guesser.
