Document Summary
Keep in mind that international law always emerges when there is sovereignty. With the sovereign state there is a system of the highest right of demand that are territorially specific with nobody above them. international law is a system that is voluntary. Government is only part of the state. In canada, when we think of the government we think of only the executive part of the gov"t system. We may say someone works in the government, meaning they work in a theocracy. Terms are not defined as precisely in political science as they would be in physics. The state itself includes many other components: theocracy, military, judiciary, legislature, state firms, schools. The government many command all these other parts of the state, we could think of countries in which these other elements are predominant, but the real power is somewhere else.
