Laws and Rules

A state is composed of a sovereign that governs a territory in its long-term interest by means of rules.

In a functioning democracy, the people, including ancerstors and posteriors, govern themselves in their generation-transceding long-term interest by means of legislation, and their poltical debate is focussed on developping and changing existing laws so as to serve this interest.

The governed territory contains many concrete elements that must be reckoned with but are not part of the sovereign.
