| | Nation-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The nation-state implies the parallel occurrence of a state and a nation. | | | The Compact OED defines "nation-state": a sovereign state of which most of the citizens or subjects are united also by factors which define a nation, such as language or common descent. | | | In the ideal nation-state, the population consists of the nation and only of the nation: the state not only houses it, but protects it and its national identity (i.e., they coincide exactly): every member of the nation is a permanent resident of the nation-state, and no member of the nation permanently resides outside it. |

| | Nation-state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term nation-state, while often used interchangeably with the terms unitary state and independent state, refers properly to the parallel occurence of a state and a nation. | | | It may be argued that a state with colonies cannot be a nation-state. | | | However, often (and especially in the case of Switzerland and the United States) attempts to create a bridging national identity have occured. |

| | That a state of this union may be sued by a foreign state, when a proper case exists and is presented, is too plainly and expressly declared in the constitution to admit of doubt; and the first inquiry is, whether the Cherokee nation is a foreign state within the sense and meaning of the constitution. | | | The terms state and nation are used in the law of nations, as well as in common parlance, as importing the same thing; and imply a body of men, united together, to procure their mutual safety and advantage by means of their union. | | | Nations being composed of men naturally free and independent, and who, before the establishment of civil societies, live together in the state of nature, nations or sovereign states; are to be considered as so many free persons, living together in a state of nature. |

| | Brownson: American Republic: Chapter 9 |
| | Sovereign states may unite in an alliance, league, or confederation, and mutually agree to exercise their sovereign powers or a portion of them in common, through a common organ or agency; but in this agreement they part with none of their sovereignty, and each remains a sovereign state or nation as before. | | | It is ordained by the sovereign, and if the States were severally independent and sovereign states, that sovereign is the States severally, not the States united. | | | Doubtless the courts of every civilized nation recognize and apply both the law of nature and the law of nations, but only on the ground that they are included, or are presumed to bo included, in the national law, or jurisprudence. |

| | Sovereignty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | According to the theory expounded in the Federalist Party, the individual states did not, after the formation of the constitution, remain completely sovereign: they retained possession of certain attributes of sovereignty, while others were ceded to the Federal government; while many states existed, only one sovereign survived. | | | However, Calhoun propounded this as part of a general theory of "nullification", in which a state had the right to refuse to accept any Federal law that it found to be unconstitutional. | | | Sovereignty over a nation is generally vested in a government or other political agency, though there are cases where it is held by an individual. |

| | Delanty: Beyond the Nation-State |
| | The rise of the militias in the United States are an extreme example of this new nationalism. | | | The traditional concerns of nationalism - irredentism, the doctrine that the national community must have a state of its own, jingoism and cultural superiority, identification with the state - are not central to the new nationalism. | | | between civic nationalism and ethno-cultural nationalism, whereby the former refers to membership of a political community and is primarily defined by reference to the state and the latter refers to membership of a cultural historical community, it is apparent that the great modernizing expressions of civic nationalism are today being over-shadowed by ethnic-cultural nationalism. |

| | Toward a Second Treaty of Westphalia: The Coming Eurasian World, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Nov. 29, 2004) |
| | Thus, the survival of the idea of the nation-state nominally committed to the common good specified by the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia,[18] represented a revolution in civilization as a whole, the resuscitation of the modern sovereign nation-state following its attempted suffocation, by religious wars, over a period of a century and a half. | | | The modern sovereign nation-state was born in Europe out of a long history of opposition to the oligarchical dogma of the Olympian Zeus, an opposition which is, most emphatically, a heritage of the current of such opposition expressed at Athens. | | | It was the adoption of the responsibility, by the sovereign state, to develop the economy in ways expressed as the adoption of the state's responsibility for the systematic promotion of the raising of the productive powers of labor, as France's development under Louis XI typifies this change. |
