How the state power developed

State power is a concept familiar to a citizen of any country. With this term, we encounter and during training in a secondary school or institute, and in ordinary life, when it is necessary to solve a particular problem. How did the basic principles that became the basis for the management of such a community, which is the state, arose?

Nowadays there are more than 250 countries. Some of them number more than one millennium of their history, others have appeared already in the modern world. It is impossible to talk about which state can be called the oldest, because there are no exact historical documents. As for the main conditions of their internal structure, for each characteristic is its own way of development of power and the principles of its operation. This is exactly what will be discussed below.

Of course, one of the key concepts in considering this issue is such an aspect as the signs of state power. What are they? Traditionally, in social studies and jurisprudence, it is common to identify several key features. As follows from the provisions of administrative law, state power is an isolated structure that is intended for the social management of a given territory (country). It is carried out with the help of various social institutions and methods. Among them, norms and laws, beliefs or power effects on society. As the dominant criterion by which state power is determined , this is the predominance of one will over another. A bearer of such a dominant can act as one person, and a meeting of influential people.

State power in the form in which we are accustomed to understand it, most clearly manifested itself in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. It is from the history of these countries that we became aware of how at the dawn of history there was a discussion of issues relating to public amenities, what guided the representatives of the ruling strata. Roman law today is considered one of the most harmonious and competent systems of political management of the internal life of the country.

As for Russia, the state power in our country has undergone a number of metamorphoses. Starting its history as an extremely fragmented, patrimonial feudal principality, each of which was guided by its own rules, Russia became one of the strongest countries on the world map. Today, the political system of the Russian Federation is based on several basic principles. State power is a triune of legislative, executive and judicial bodies. In this case, the concept itself can be interpreted in two senses:

• Power can be viewed as a public institution that reflects and regulates the main aspects of the domestic and foreign political life of the country. In other words - the right and the opportunity to create laws or other regulatory acts, as well as exercise control over their execution. This is the legal meaning.
• The political significance of the ruling sphere is reflected in the following: state power is a public administration, as such, the competence and composition of its representatives - this will be a political science sense.
