Political science begins and ends with the state explain
Answers
A state is a compulsory political organization with a centralized government that maintains a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within a certain geographical territory.[1][2]
Some states are sovereign; other states are subject to external sovereignty or hegemony, where ultimate sovereignty lies in another state.[3] The term state is also applied to federated states that are members of a federal union, which is the sovereign state.
Speakers of American English often use the terms state and government as synonyms, with both words referring to an organized political group that exercises authority over a particular territory. In British and Commonwealth English, state is the only term that has that meaning, while the government instead refers to the ministers and officeholders who set the political policy for the territory.
