32		-====Independently, stable political order is a prerequisite to any theory of the good since no one can guarantee they achieve their ends or have their desires fulfilled in a disordered state of nature. Rights are meaningless in a societal arrangement where they cannot be protected. Only absolute power prevents warring factions or political gridlock that makes political organizing impossible. ====

60		-
61		-The sovereign unifies the desires and wills of the entire commonwealth into one body, which means my framework controls the internal link to intent-based and ends-based frameworks since the sovereign resolves conflicting claims among citizens. That~’s key to avoid intent-based problems for government actors. You can~’t analyze the intent of a group since they have conflicting motivations and judgments, but you can for the sovereign.
62		-
63		-I contend that a prohibition on the production of nuclear power is inconsistent with sovereign authority for three reasons.
64		-
65		-1. Affirming isn~’t part of the state~’s duty since its duty is to be the definer and prevent regress to the state of nature. Not affirming doesn~’t actually lead to a regress to the state of nature, which means the status quo is actively good because it is consistent with state created standards for goodness. The squo negates. ~~Extend out of their AC.~~
66		-
67		-2. It~’s impossible to generate external obligations for the sovereign because to do so would require that there~’s some higher power to order the sovereign to do so, but since the sovereign is all powerful that~’d be impossible. The only obligation a sovereign can have is one that it creates itself but that would still concede the authority of the sovereign.
68		-
69		-3. Affirming imposes an obligation on the sovereign to prohibit nuclear power, even if they do not want to – inconsistent with absolute sovereign authority. That~’s Hobbes 68.
