Answer:

Ernest Renan defines a nation as an entity based on acts of the free will of individuals forming a collective identity: "A nation is a soul, a spiritual principle. Two things, which in truth are

but one, constitute this soul or spiritual principle. One lies in the past, one in the present. One

is the possession in common of a rich legacy of memories; the other is present-day consent.

the desire to live together, the will to perpetuate the value of the heritage that one has received

in an undivided form.
