I still want to know Where coward Cantin imagines government of the U.S. got its "right to rule"?
Dale Eastman constitution which was properly ratified
Thank you.
Can you delegate any right that you, yourself, do not have?
You have no more right to force people to accept a stateless society than they have to force you to accept a statist one
Dale Eastman A property may be too large to be effectively managed by one decision-making unit, so it would produce more output for the society at large if it were under several decision-making units.

Your non sequitur red herring is noted and ignored.
➽ You have no more right to force people to accept a stateless society [...]
You have just implied that I would force people to accept a stateless society. Please present your supporting proof or withdraw the statement.
Please answer the question:
Can you delegate any right that you, yourself, do not have?
Dale Eastman The basis for a property right is not an individual attribute or merit but social expediency. The social question then is-what is to be gained or lost by defining a property right, and on what basis should the right be assigned, and shall it be transferable?
That's a question being discussed by others and yourself.
That's not my question.
I strongly suspect you support slavery. My suspicions, my opinions of you, gleaned from multiple posts of yours over that last year or two, are not sufficient for me to conclude that you are the Statist I think you are. So I ask my own questions about you to get clarification from you.
Can you delegate any right that you, yourself, do not have?
Dale Eastman In addition to Constitutional rights of citizens in general, there are special rights, such as the right of exclusive use of specific things (property rights) or rights arising from specific reciprocal commitments (contracts) and rights created by specific legislation (employment rights, housing rights, etc.)
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
Lysander Spooner circa 1870
Edit to add:
Fourth inquiry that you have failed to address:
Can you delegate any right that you, yourself, do not have?
