Qua sont ia origins ios Stat ?[]
Id lexis Stat gwehmt ex latin status, ex id verb stare, idswo ex oraryo *steH2, yani stah. Tod werdo Stat prehpt in Europe ye id end ios XVt secule kay kyuses un forme os politic organisation quod hat antslohnct ab Renaissance in Occidental Europe. Ia civil ed international Weirs agen we kwohnden ab ia Europay monarchias hant ducen do id skeipen ios moderne Stat, quod hat wardhen inter ia XVIt ed XVIIIt secule, besonters ab id concept Statsraison. Philosophic ed politic rjienbwutsi kam Cardinal de Richelieu, Mazarin, Ludvic XIV, Friedrich II os Preussen, Machiavelli, Hobbes hant direct-ye contribuet id formation ios moderne Stat.
Historic-ye, id Stat buit prest-ye un politic construction sult ep Religion. Machiavelli (Il Principe, 1514) hat poskwo seculariset id lexis enderkweitend-ye nett-ye id spiritual autoritat ud id secular autoritat : is hat besonters kyunggiawt od is Peurst hat ka objective nudes sieno magh kay kjiengowihes id Stat, aun od Moralitat condition sien action.
Ye id XVIIt secule, Thomas Hobbes, in id Leviathan (1651), comparit id Nationstat uni "mier artificial corpos". Is iey id union im individus eni un politic corpos ne eet automatic, witerom id aristoteliste conception sekwent el mensc est un "politic animal" (ζώων πολιτικον). Yeji Hobbes, i individus gwivend in id state of nature hant bayad-ye divergent interesses qua bringhe i ad mudam conflige contra mutu; quetos id wekwos sekwent-yod "mensc est mensci wolf". Also, mensci cheusient per interesse tyehgve oin part om ir natural rects oiskeipend-ye se do Stat, kay skape id effrenation iom destructor passions ed garantie it ir securitat. El mensc tyehgviet yinjier poldam oin part siens lure linkwnd-ye id stand os Nature po chuses id social contract. Sekwent Hobbes, id politic waldho dehlct ses institute per contract, quosmed el individu homologht respecte ia wehlens uns wanak quel incarnet ordre-public ed collective vol. Tel wanak se dwinght tik ob el swekwehrt salvtat ad sien subjects, ne ob est prihn.
Ye id XVIIIt secule, Montesquieu hat dind paursken id wassila os limite id stieure im wanaks. In De l'Esprit des lois, is hat suggest establie uno maghenseparation inter legislative, executive ed judicative, quosmed le pouvoir arête le pouvoir. In id forstehlben om eys reflexions, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Du Contrat social ou Principes du droit politique, 1762) hat explien od dat id individual wesu smyehrt id general interesse ed dat nimen harmskwt seswo, nimen emiet decision contrar ad altern interesse. Is hat kathalika tenten solve id dilemma evoquen af Hobbes dayir id necessary forlinkwen os individualo lure, kyunggiawnd-ye od l'obéissance à la loi qu'on s'est prescrite est la liberté chunke cadanghen cheust leudher-ye fuschioue id.

Seighi, traditional-ye, monarchia eet definihn kam id magh es oin, aristocratia ka id magh unios minoritat influenten civs (άριστοι, "i gohdsti"), democratia ka id magh ios popule (δήμος), senter hat oistus protie sien practic realisation, naudhend uno muzlim civennumer. Ies mentors ios XVIIIt secule hant yinjier-ye profunderiht id notion ed ia possible modalitats ios representation ios popules ed im civs, tem quem ia concepts om national ed popules souverainitats. Sekwent id theoria ios national souverainitat, ige representers ios nation comdefineihnt id national interesse ed id general vol, quetos id loy dehlct surces yeji id 1789 Declaration iom rects al mensc ed civ (buit-yod plaut-ye inspiret ab tod theoria).

Also, id notion civstand est intim-ye bohnden ad democratia ed se enderkweit net-ye ud id notion os nationalitat (yani "weiker uns land") wawod id confert politic rects ed dohlgs. In un rousseauiste prospect, cada civ xeiht oin part ios politic souverainitat, quo legitimet elso smyehren in id election elsen gouvernants.
In tod sense, civstand est un essential component ios identitat ed ios social existence al individu. Id communitat im civs vaht skipes id nation.
