What is the difference between what Lincoln calls "a government proper" and "an association of states in the nature of a contract merely"

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The difference between what Lincoln calls "a government proper" and "an association of states in the nature of a contract merely," is explained in the ideas that were expressed by US President Abraham Lincoln during his inaugural speech of March 4, 1881.

President Lincoln considered that the United States was a Union of those states, formally constituted under the Constitution. That has been the decision and form of government decided by the founding fathers of America.

The country was not based on an association of states in the nature of a contract merely, as some southern states had planned in the case Lincoln won the presidency. Indeed, before the Civil War, some states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederation.

That is why he always insisted on the importance of maintaining the Union. For President Lincoln, the states had decided to create a Constitution to have a more proper and perfect Union.

well it depends i think people around the world are coming around to gay marriage. but if you are talking abortion then wow, so much to talk about. such as men thinking they have the right to choose if women can, the fact there are health concerns if the women can't get one, and many more arguments to discuss. so i would definitely say abortion would be a much more interesting topic.
