In every other Country/Nation of The World, The State is Derived from the people's of that country.
It is a natural rule because it is a fellow citizen ruling over another citizen.
This is not the case in The United States due to clashes of different Nations vying for power, in The case of The United States, it is The State who rules over us, and in such that's why modern politics is so racially motivated, and extremely divisive because different groups of people are fighting for what in their best interest, not for the best of collective en masse.
The United States as it stands today Cannot fundamentally function without a drastic change in human behavior, or a unifying factor of All American Citizens.
