​Let us Study!

​A state is an organized political community acting under a government and united by common set of laws. It uses absolute power in directing the path of a society. It also uses complete political coerciveness, which may come in the form of armed forces personnel, stricter laws, and rigid government policies in order to attain its societal goals and objectives.

​States differ in sovereignty, governance, geography, and interests. It may be classified as sovereign if they are not dependent on, or subject to, any other power or state. Other states are subject to external sovereignty where ultimate sovereignty lies another state.

​As a state, it consists of actors with varying interests and assertions, social rules are implemented in the forms of laws. These laws are created to manage the interaction among individuals and between the individuals and the state. As a citizen of a country, an individual is subjected to the legal norms in the territory. These norms may include paying taxes, rendering military services, and contributing to the political life in the society.

​The State intends to be a strong actor in the performance of the three important political functions. The state, in full form, 1. maintains control over violence in its domain 2. allocates resources and rewards at its discretion, and 3. stands as the major focus of identity for the large majority of the people under its authority

​Elements of the States

​1. Population It is the people who make the state. Population is essential for the state. Without population there can be no State. 2. Territory There can be no state without a fixed territory. People need territory to live and organize themselves socially and politically. It may be remembered that the territory of the states includes land, water and airspace.

​3. Government It is the organization or machinery or agency of the State which makes, implements, enforces, and adjudicates the laws of the state. 4. Sovereignty It is the most exclusive elements of State. Without sovereignty no state can exist. State has the exclusive title and prerogative to exercise supreme power over all its people and territory. It is the basis which the State regulates all aspects of the life of the people living in its territory.

Totalitarianism is a political system that strives to regulate nearly every aspect of public and private life.
