The early 16th-century works of Machiavelli (especially The Prince) played a central role in popularizing the use of the word "state" in something similar to its modern sense. The contrasting of church and state still dates to the 16th century. The North American colonies were called "states" as early as the 1630s.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nicholo Machiavelli, a western philosopher, was the first to coin the term "state."

Explanation:

The modern concept of the state arose in the writings of Niccol Machiavelli (Italy) and Jean Bodin (France) in the 16th century as the centralising force that could restore stability. Machiavelli prioritised the long-term viability of government in The Prince, ignoring all moral considerations in favour of the ruler's strength—his energy, courage, and independence. Power, according to Bodin, was not enough to create a sovereign; governance had to be moral and have continuity—i.e., a way of maintaining succession. Bodin's idea foreshadowed the 17th-century doctrine of the divine right of kings, which saw monarchy become Europe's dominant form of government.
