Given the tone and timber of the question, it would appear that you believe that the Federal government lacks legitimacy.

Incorrect assumption on your part. I used the federal government because that is the governing institution common to most of the members in this sub-forum. We have a lack of experience with the British government. Makes no sense to go back in time and question the legitimacy of the soviet government. I am merely asking a question of political philosophy. I am trying to get a feel for forum members underlying assumptions pertaining to their willingness to be governed by a particular unit of government. The discussion can move in any number of directions once a foundation is laid.
Simple enough, seems to me.
