Rather, Fraenkel argued, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dictatorships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorships</span></a> create a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/lawless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lawless</span></a> zone that runs alongside the normative state. The 2 states cohabit uneasily &amp; unstably. On any given day, people or cases could be jerked out of the normative state &amp; into the prerogative one.</p>

To the contrary, that system—which he called the “normative state”—remains in place while dictatorial power spreads across society. What happens, Fraenkel explained, is insidious.</p>
