Essay on the Theory of Nation and State
Article shared by 
The theory of one nation, one State had its supporters in the past too, but it became the practical politics after World War I in 1918, when new nations were created in pursuance of the principle of self-determination.
Since then there has been a tendency to equate nation with the State, which really they are not. For example, the constitution of the Republic of Argentina bears the title of the “Argentine Nation.”
Similarly, the name “United Nations” is a misnomer, for it is an international organisation of sovereign States and not nations. The State is a people organised for law within a definite territory and it is sovereign both internally as well as externally whereas a nation is a people psychologically bound together, with a common will to live together forever and share the common weal and woe.
