A state typically refers to a political organization with a government that exercises authority over a defined territory and population. Without a government to administer laws, provide services, and regulate society, it is challenging to have an effective state. However, some political theories suggest the concept of a stateless society, where governance is decentralized or non-existent.
When the US Constitution was ratified, one key element given to the Federal government was the power to conduct wars. This eliminated any state laws that called for states to raise and retain their own armies.
The linked article provides many facts about a typical well studied element, oxygen.
A constitution is a plan that provides the rules for a government. Thus, the people living under that plan know how the government is organized, the powers and duties of the government, and the rights and responsibilities of the citizens. The Constitution of the United States establishes recognized limits on the powers of the national government. This is known as limited government. Our Constitution also establishes a representative government. That means that the citizens have the right to elect members to the national government who will handle the day to day affairs of the government. But, those representatives are always responsible to the citizens. The power of the government is shared by the state and federal governments. This is known as federalism. Also, the Constitution establishes three branches of government to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. This is called the separation of powers. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution once it was ratified. These first ten amendments to the US Constitution contain a list of individual rights and liberties which the government cannot take away from the citizens. MrV There is also an element of our Constitution that was radically different at the time of its establishment. All authority to create, enact and amend our Constitution belongs to the People. A very fundamental reason that no government under the Constitution can take anything from the people that they don't freely cede is that the people alone have authority over the Constitution... Not Congress, not the President, and not the Supreme Court.
