What is worth converting is capital? Good point. How do you covert the capital of "ownership" of Manhattan Island, from the Indians to the Hudson Bay Company?
Well, first you tell them they own it. It is not just their hunting ground to protect. Big news to them. Now they think we are suckers. We are going to pony up big capital now for something they don't even own and it's a fairly payed out hunting ground, iac. Ah, for the Lord across the sea. Oh. Big wampum (capital) now.
GLASS BEADS!!! {Praise the Gods} Now what is the first and only capital that matters at first? Getting Laid. And in every micro-society in high school, that takes personal capital.
So, these baubles become vast capital for these Indians who screwed us for them with land they didn't own. Now the chief can disburse to the most favored hunters, so they can Get Some, and make more hunters.
Now, did they offer money? Hudson Bay Notes.....as a joke?

And so just repeal the 2nd Amendment? That's one idea. Good luck with that.

You forget the martial law option?

Wouldn't invocation of martial law be the same as saying "OK the republic didn't work. Suck it up"? cn

But only in the then-Territory of Hawai'i and that ended in October 1944.
There was also a local state of emergency in place after Katrina. Not martial law but not business as usual. cn

Oh, words and meaning. How do you describe gas rationing, forced collection of metal, curfews, and half blacked headlights? It was martial decrees by congress that suspended many ordinary rights. And it hit corporate America the hardest. No new autos were produced.
All watercraft over a certain size were seconded. That's martial law. It has limits and boundries for the situation.

I am going from the premise that martial law is about the suspension of significant civil liberties during a declared emergency, like the right to habeas corpus. cn

According to the Supreme Court, the term martial law carries no precise meaning (Duncan v. Kahanamoku, 327 U.S. 304, 66 S. Ct. 606, 90 L. Ed. 688 [1946])
and
Congress has never declared martial law. However, at the outset of the Civil War, in July 1861, Congress ratified most of the martial law measures declared by President Abraham Lincoln. Its martial law declaration gave the Union military forces the authority to arrest persons and conduct trials.

I wonder if the definition is suffering some drift. I would widen it to include "with military assistance" to allow for the cases where the military don't actually supplant the civilian government. I note also that "in designated areas" is used by the dictionaries, suggesting that martial law can be regional as well as temporary. cn

Definition was too strong a word, "general personal understanding of meaning" wouldve been more accurate
