Evaluation Questions

1. What is a state?

Answer:

A state can be defined as the association of people living within a geographical territory that is under a government which is free from external control or is independent.

 

2. What are the features of a state?

Answer:

  • Population: The population as a feature of a state connotes the people which make up the state.
  • Government: The government is an important element of a state without which there will be chaos and anarchy in a state.
  • Sovereignty: This is also very important as it marks the difference between a state and other associations. Sovereignty of a state marks its independence and absolute powers over its own internal affairs.
  • Recognition: A state must be duly recognized by other sovereign states and international organizations.
  • Permanence: The state remains a permanent entity as it does not change with the government.
