Dr Michael Hueemer has a tremendous amount of great ideas on his site. However, I have not been able to see his point about no state having any authority.; A British philosopher Danny Frederick also has criticized this idea of Dr Huemer. The idea of government being a contract also has brought both of their critiques. But looking at the war between Sparta and Athens, I can see that contract theory; and agreement to follow a certain form of government makes a big difference.
