There would be a difference. First, the associations would be mutually beneficial and based on profit/loss. It wouldn't even have the same structure as government because we wouldn't be governed at all, instead we would contract for things which we need, and if we find that one service doesn't suit our needs we would could easily vote with our wallets as consumers often do. Even our own form of government was meant to be extremely limited. The Constitution was written to bind government officials, not the people of the United States. The Bill of Rights is our shield against bad governmental policies (or at least it should be).
