Answers
Answer:
Some of the main differences between state and government are as follows:
1. Government is only an element of the state:
A State has four essential elements—Population, Territory, Government and Sovereignty. Government is only one element of the State. It is just one part of the State which acts for the state.

2. Government is an Agency or Agent of the State:
Government is an agency of the State. It acts for the state. It is that agency of the State which formulates the will of the state into laws, implements the laws of the state and ensures conformity to the laws of the state. Government exercises power and authority on behalf of the state.
3. State is Abstract, Government is Concrete:
State is a concept, an idea or a name used to denote a community of persons living on a definite territory and organised for the exercise of sovereignty. State cannot be seen. Government is made by the people of the State. It is formed by the representatives of the people. It has a definite and defined organisation and form. It can be seen as a team of people exercising the power of the State.

4. Government is organised only by a portion of the population of State:
The whole population is a part of the State. All the people are citizens of the State. However, government is made by the representatives of the people. Only some people, who get elected act as representatives of the people, form the government of the State. Their number is limited to few hundred only. In India around 5500 MPs and MLAs represent the total population of around 110 crores and exercise the political power at the centre and in all states of India.
5. Membership of a State is compulsory but not of Government:
All people are citizens of the State. They together constitute the population of the State. Each one normally gets the membership (citizenship) of a state automatically right at the time of one’s birth and continues to live life as such. However, membership of the government is not automatic. No one can be forced to become its part. Anyone can voluntarily seek an election, get elected as a representative of the people and become a part of the government. Only some persons form the government.
