The Government of the People, of the State of Ohio (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Ohio

1. A State is a body of persons living within a definite territory, and united under a permanent organization and common laws in order to promote their mutual safety and welfare. In thinking of a State four things must be considered: (1) A group of people (2) occupying a special tract of land, and (3) regulated in their relations to one another, and in their use and enjoyment of that land, by laws (4) made and enforced in accordance with a definite plan known as the constitution. The civil government of any State has to do with the people, the land, and the framing and operation of the constitution and laws.
