I have learned a thing: if they can take it away, it was never really yours.
The rest is grace.

I can take away your life...
But please now answer my questions. The stated goal of your post was to clear away misconceptions, so please do clear away mine.
Yeah, you can end my life. What you cannot do is take away the life I have lived. This is the difference. My life lived I do own.
As to the rest of your questions, I agree with you. The way one governs themselves is government. If two people agree to govern themselves according to some rule, they form a mutual government. Government is nothing more than an agreement.
I am not aware of any misconceptions that may be obscuring your vision.
