"The right to National Independence does not arise from any merely literary and idealistic form of self-consciousness... but from an active, self-conscious, political will expressing itself in action and ready to prove its rights.
It arises, in short, from the
existence, at least virtually, of a State. Indeed, it is the State which, as the
expression of a universal ethical will, creates the right to National Independence.
A Nation, as expressed in the State, is a living, ethical entity only in so far as it is
progressive. INACTIVITY IS DEATH.
Therefore the State is not only Authority which governs and confers legal form and spiritual value on individual wills, but it is also Power which makes its will felt and respected beyond its own frontiers...This implies organization and expansion, potential if not
actual.
Thus the State equates itself to the will of man..."
