- Collect taxes
- Build roads

A state is a physical entity. It is a piece of real estate. It is a group of people. It is a set of institutions. It began years ago and will continue into the future. The government provides laws and order to that piece of real estate and its contents. It will change more often than the area where it has authority. Most of its changes are minor. Few of its changes have long term significance. Eisenhower's road system has such significance for the United States. Harry Truman's reversal of segregation in certain areas has such significance. Both belong on Mt. Rushmore for their long term changes. Still, the government is temporally in power. The state continues.
