What distinguishes the state from other institutions of the political system?
The state is distinguished from other institutions of the political system by the presence of a more complex structure than those of these very institutions of the political system. The state differs from other structures of politics in that it is huge, in that it establishes laws, introduces a system of banknotes, its importance and significance in international relations. The state commands all people on its territory – up to one person and all up to one person-citizen are obliged to listen to its charters – laws. And there may be a billion of them. It occupies a certain territory, and here it appears as such – a state with full power. All this suggests that the state has such a power that cannot be compared with any other in this life, and it is called state power.
