Abstract
Philosopher John Searle argues that the power of the state is created by the fact that people are willing to accept it. He goes on to say that this is true with all of our social institutions. As an example, he mentions money, noting that if people suddenly decided to "forget" these pieces of paper we call money, then money as we know it would no longer have the same meaning..
