Now, I know most people don't know this for this is never spoken of or stated until now.
Any State or league is composed of two bodies: a body politic and a body corporate. Government is a political body corporate. The body politic is the society of people joined together in an association. Government IS NOT the State. The State is the people united into a society. A society is one type of association.
I will see what I can dig up to support all that I have stated above.
From most distinct to most broad:
Law of Corporations -> Law of Companies -> Law of Associations
