incorrect
the Federal Gov
And if the rule exists in the first place to actually be enforced. There’s no legal boundary that says a state cannot leave the Union, meaning that secession was perfectly within the legal authority of the states.
Did you not just hear what I said?
I WISH the State had the monopoly
The Feds are the State you dumb boomer
pay attention, the discussion is about STATE'S rights
When I refer to “the State” that is what is the govt
After all, any powers not explicitly given to the federal government are assumed to be the power the states and citizens hold respectively.
the State is not the Federal Gov in this context
what 'you refer to' in your head, we cannot know
pay attention to context
The state is the smaller political entity; a region.
For example, Connecticut is a state.
we know this, but the two statements are incompatible
false dichotomy
Mao was woke af
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.".
"State has monopoly on force" - this is NOT the same usage as 'Pennsylvania is a State"
same word
and we were using the second
this man speaks the truth
@Uksio same, but for Virginia.
Again as political argument the State refers to whoever is in charge as a political entity. Doesn’t mean local or otherwise
that is a false equivalence
no it’s not
and it is at the very core of the issue
libertarians will agree with me on this
wtf
However, we’re talking about the specific legal confines of a state itself. From the constitutional sense, it refers to the states; the specific regions of the country with their own political autonomy.
by your argument, a british citizen would conisder the EU and the UK the same
oh hi im british
both fuction as their 'goverment'
Yes they are political entities with the power projection are they not?
well the UK isnt a state
@SnowPirate67 we would just call that a government.
its a collective of states
the State is the government at large
