Topic: Athenian Federation


  
  Federal government - LoveToKnow 1911
So far as concerns the residue of powers unallotted to the central or federal authority, the separate states retain unimpaired their individual sovereignty, and the citizens of a federation consequently owe a double allegiance, one to the state, and the other to the federal government.
There were federal officers, all the military forces of the cities were controlled by the league, and federal finance was quite separate from city finance.
The remarkable federation of the Dominion of Canada which was thus originated presented the unique feature of a federal union of provinces practically exercising sovereign rights in relation to all local self-government, and sustaining a constitutional autonomy, while cherishing the colonial relationship to Great Britain.

From this period until the conclusive defeat of Athens by Sparta in the Peloponnesian War in 404 bc, members of the Delian League were vassals of Athens.
Following the conclusion of peace with Sparta (371 bc) the league again became a group of Athenian subject states, but Athens was no longer able to enforce its authority, and the membership of the league constantly fluctuated.
After King Philip II of Macedonia defeated the Athenians at Chaeronea in 338 bc, the league ceased to exist.

Considering the further development of the Athenian philosophies from Socrates through Plato to Aristotle, it is the greatest contribution of the sophists of all is that they accomplished the preparation for the rise of Plato's and Aristotle's philosophies and philosophical inquires into human beings and their society.

 Cosmopolitanism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Romantic authors, on the other hand, felt that the ideal state should not have to involve coercion at all, and hence also that the cosmopolitan ideal should be that of a world-wide republic of ‘fraternal’ non-authoritarian republics (the young Friedrich Schlegel).
This claim is hard to maintain, however, in the face of the existence of the United Nations, the existence of states with more than a billion people of heterogeneous backgrounds, and the experience with the USA and the EU.
So in order to be taken seriously, the objection must instead be that it is impossible to form a good state or federation of that magnitude, i.e., that it is impossible to realize or even approximate the cosmopolitan ideal in a way that makes it worth pursuing and that does not carry prohibitive risks.
