what is our relationship with the state with the government?.. When do we realize that the state exists because we want it to exist?
... we the people give unto ourselves this constitution and that is how the state came into being.
... if you read the section on fundamental rights, it doesn't say you have the right to life and liberty. It doesn't say you have the right to free speech. That is not how it reads.
