If you read early American caselaw explaining the rationale of sovereign immunity, the logic is that in monarchies it drives from the divine right of the sovereign. When we became independent we kept that legal concept, but the judges said that it derived from the will of the electorate rather than the divine right of the sovereign. Of course, the functional outcome was the same…

I do not understand how we can embrace this concept as a country 250 years after breaking free of monarchy.

At least not since WA finally trusted people to pump their own gas a few years back.
Edit: Sorry, OR not WA
butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What did Musk and Trump fall out over?34·13 days agoA lot of people still buy into trickle down economics despite consistently not working for the several decades we have tried it and reflexively support tax cuts for the wealthy. A lot of those same people also think that kicking people off of what they consider to be “welfare” will somehow magically result in those people quickly becoming employed, thinking that the reason they aren’t employed is because they aren’t facing serious enough consequences for unemployment.
