THE NOTION OF EUROPEAN UNION

For the Europeans, uniquely, can freely declare: We the peoples of the European Union; indeed, they have experienced the sense of union, from the embryonic French-German form to the developed entity it has become. For how is it possible that the American Constitutional Convention created the basic law in Philadelphia in 1789 for a nation that did not yet exist? And how is it possible that the Charter of the United nations was shaped at the Congress of nations in San Francisco in 1945, for a world nation that did not yet exist? The unification of the World, be it presented under the guise of globalization or democratization, must be modeled on the European experience. Experiencing the sense of a world union should pave the way for the peoples of the United Nations to declare a United Nations .
