Thought these represented some valid comments on the topic.

The duty of a State to protect her People, and her Right to command their obedience, and to protect them from the consequences of obedience depend on each other.
These are the Essence of Sovereignty, and the tests of its existence.
The existence of either right implies that of the other two.
The duty to protect results from the right to command.
The right to protect results from the duty to protect.
The duty to command (or control) results from the right to protect.
The right to command results from the duty to command.
And so on all round the circle again.
