THE POLITICAL ORGANISATION OF SOCIETY:
THE STATE
INTRODUCTION:What is a state?What is a nation?What is a
country
A state is a group of institutions that organise the
society.
A nation is a community of people with the same culture,
traditions, history and language. For example the UK is a country
compounded by people of four nations: the English, Irish, Scottish
and Welsh.
Tract of land inhabited by people of one or several nations.
Whereas the term 'nation' refers to particular group of people,
'country' refers to the physical dimensions and boundaries of a
geographical area, and 'state' legal and political entity.

Types of governments
DEMOCRACYREPUBLICMONARCHYARISTOCRACYDICTATORSHIP
The word "democracy" literally means "rule by the people." In a
democracy, the people govern.
DEMOCRACY
The political parties:
A literal democracy is impossible in a political system
containing more than a few people. All "democracies" are really
republics. In a republic, the people elect representatives to make
and enforce laws
REPUBLIC
A monarchy consists of rule by a king or queen. Sometimes a king
is called an "emperor," especially if there is a large empire, such
as China before 1911. There are no large monarchies today. Spain,
which has a king, is really a republic because the king has
virtually no political power.
MONARCHY
An aristocracy is rule by the aristocrats. Aristocrats are
typically wealthy, educated people. Many monarchies have really
been ruled by aristocrats. Today, typically, the term "aristocracy"
is used negatively to accuse a republic of being dominated by rich
people, such as saying, "The United States has become an
aristocracy."
ARISTOCRACY
A dictatorship consists of rule by one person or a group of
people. Very few dictators admit they are dictators; they almost
always claim to be leaders of democracies. The dictator may be one
person, such as Kim jong il in norht korea or Hitler in Germany, or
a group of people, such as the dAESH Party in SIRIA.
