The forced retention of people or geographical units under the government’s monopolistic jurisdiction is totalitarian. This applies to people as well as to political subdivisions. One is not truly free if one cannot leave the government. Just as the 13 colonies seceded from Britain, Madison argued, individuals can reject the government, smaller subdivisions can leave larger ones, and states can leave the feds. He was also referring to the natural right that individuals and political subdivisions have to leave the government, called secession. He was referring to the power of the states to nullify acts of the federal government that the states determined were outside its constitutional authority.

It’s an event in which Wilson finished sixth at Olympic Trials in 2021 and is her best chance to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. It’s her first 800 of the season in conditions hardly conducive to top performance, so Wilson is less worried about the time than the execution, of taking the lead near the midpoint and controlling the field.
