DESCRIPTION:<p>ABSTRACT. Theories of state legitimacy require a deontic characterization of both the state and the state&rsquo\;s subject. Classically this characterization is that a legitimate state has the moral right to rule and state subjects correlatively possess a general duty to obey the law. Partly in response to skepticism about such a duty\, philosophers have increasingly turned to revised characterizations. These revisionist accounts\, however\, still focus on the political subject as an exclusively legal subject. In this paper\, I argue that this reduction of the political subject to the legal subject is untenable. A successful theory of state legitimacy must characterize our relations to the state in a way that recognizes our necessarily extralegal relation to the state and to the legal regime\, including in our collective constituent power. Further\, such a theory should take itself seriously as an ideology: as both appealing to and constructing political subjects&rsquo\; identity. This expands the question of deontic status beyond Hohfeldian incidents to what kind of person our states require us to be.&nbsp\;</p>
