Correct.
I do not understand the term "sovereignity" but I think that is the first
time it has entered our dialogue. I initially asked for a scenario
from you which demonstrated your assertion -
[i]Here in the States, the limited government was formed with a wary eye on
the pervasive nature of historical ruling parties and the distrust was so
dee ...[text shortened]... Your scenario is vague so I filled in the blanks (wrongly).
What is the scenario you imagine?
The scenarios I "imagine" are the very ones currently at play in the US: a police state which is becoming increasingly out of control.
The US citizen (as "imagined" by the Constitution) is the one for whom the government alliance is formed, not the other way around.
The government is the slave, not the owner/ruler... at least, according to the Constitution, if that relic is still relevant.
An out of control police state, acting as an agent of the government, will seize property, violate boundaries, prohibit free travel, engage in intimidation, imprison without due process, illegally take the lives of the citizenry without fear of reprisal or recompense.
These (and other) scenarios are exactly what is currently unfolding here in these United States.
