To use an important [[illustration]]: The states of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States American Federal Union] have long enjoyed [[peace]]. They have no more wars among themselves. They have [[surrendered]] their [[sovereignty]] to the federal government, and through the arbitrament of [[war]], they have abandoned all claims to the [[delusions]] of [[self-determination]]. While each state regulates its internal affairs, it is not concerned with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations foreign relations], tariffs, immigration, [[military]] affairs, or interstate [[commerce]]. Neither do the [[individual]] states concern themselves with matters of [[citizenship]]. These states suffer the ravages of [[war]] only when the federal government's [[sovereignty]] is in some way [[jeopardized]].
