​

Answer 1

Answer:

centralized organisation. There is no undisputed definition of a state.[1][2] Max Weber's definition of a state as a polity that maintains a monopoly on the use of violence is widely used, as are many others.[3][4]

Some states are sovereign, while other states are subject to external sovereignty or hegemony, where supreme authority lies in another state.[5] The term "state" also applies to federated states that are members of a federation, in which sovereignty is shared between member states and a federal body.
