Just like the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Crown are not the same. North-Carolina [Confederacy styled] is not [the] State of North Carolina. Go to Laws of Nations - and reference a Moral Person.

A man's body is corporate as all members function together as one UNDER his head. All members of said man's body submit to the administration of the Head [brain]. The body and the head are one bridged by the neck. Such is statehood formed in Moral Personage.

State and Estate are the same term. Mr. Webster says so anyways.

From Sweeney Todd - the musical:

"The history of the world my sweet --
is who gets eaten, and who gets to eat."

"Its man devouring man my dear,
and who are we to deny it in here?"
