Once upon a time , a lot of little countries decided to have an overall limited governing body to prevent conflagration of disputes among themselves. Now this all worked out fine until the officers and officials of the governing body began taking liberties with the limited power given them.
Initially the little countries ignored edicts and proclamations of the governing body that were ridiculous or blatantly violated the parameters of power that had been placed upon it. By the time the little countries realized this was getting to be a problem the governing body had become more powerful than any of the little countries is was supposed to serve. In fact it had become more powerful than any group of countries from the whole it was supposed to serve.
Eventually the governing body solidified its control over the little countries through force of arms.
Of course I am speaking the American 'Civil War', but does this not apply to the dynamic of the United Nations and its member 'States'? Or is it 'states' already?
