States differ from each other not only in size, population, level of welfare of citizens. Their internal organization can be very different. What are the main features of the political structure of the country? What are their forms and modes isolated in the modern theory of the state? This will be discussed in this article.
The Government – is a volumetric multi-faceted category, which is engaged in a number of scientific disciplines: from geography to sociology. In contrast to a particular territory or geographic country, it difficult for empirical perception, being rather abstract than real object of study.
The Phenomenon of the state, its political system, form of government – these questions have troubled the minds of many philosophers and scientists in a variety of historical era. Thus, the study of various aspects of the state engaged in such thinkers as Aristotle and Plato, Aquinas and Confucius, John Locke and Herbert Spencer.
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato has been devoted to this problem one of his works (the dialogues) under the title “State”. In this work, we find several interesting ideas that have not lost their relevance even in our days. So, he talked about the fact that the head power should be wise philosophers, because only they are able to properly take care of the citizens. Plato also disliked the political system of democratic type. Democracy he called a fair and at the same time unjust power of the majority.

The Government – this is a very complex social structure, representation which can be compiled through the main features of this education. Seven:
Based on these characteristics, the state is obliged to perform several functions, and imenno:
In this article we will focus on the first of these functions, having thoroughly reviewed the forms and modes of political system of the country. Which one is most popular today?
Different scientists, philosophers and thinkers differently evaluated the role of the state. Sometimes these estimates were polar with respect to each other. So, Vladimir Lenin claimed that “the government – is the apparatus of violence in the hands of the ruling class”. But the well-known Russian existentialist Nikolai Berdyaev was convinced that it is the state that allows human life to turn into a final hell.
Both statement are equally entitled to life. The efficiency in this article, education is largely dependent on the specific form of the political structure of the state. In fact in some countries around the planet we see how the rulers are really trying to work for his people. In other States, the apparatus of power, only oppresses and uses its citizens.
Socio-political structure – the process and the result of the organization of power in the country. It includes the type of state structure and political regime.
Form of political system – this is the way the national and the territorial organization of the state. It provides for the establishment of certain relations between Central and regional (local) authorities.
The Political system can take three basic forms. It is a unitary state, Federation, and Confederation.
Under a unitary state understand the political structure of the country, in which its specific administrative-territorial units do not have sovereignty. Among the main features of this form are the following:
In modern political science there are several types of unitary States. This:
A Unitary state can be composed of one (examples: Tajikistan, Ukraine), or some autonomy (examples: Moldova, Spain).
In the quantitative aspect in the modern world is dominated by a unitary state. This is clearly seen on the map where they are all marked in blue. Usually, this small area of the country with a predominance of one nation. Although there are exceptions. One of them – China, which has in its composition several different levels of autonomy.
The Federation – the particular political system in which separate parts of the state have a certain sovereignty, which is enshrined in law. The word itself has Latin roots and means "Union" or "Union".
One of the hallmarks of a Federal state is the so-called double legislation. What does it mean? Laws can do as Central government and regional. The bills passed at the level of individual subjects of the Federation, must not contradict the Federal legislation.
In federations, as a rule, there is a single currency, however, the tax system can be bi-amped. This means that the concrete subject of Federation has the right to establish its own regional budget and to distribute its funds.
In the world there are symmetrical and asymmetrical Federation. In the first territorial entities have equal rights, but in the second, their legal status varies.
Federation of modern political map of the world is evenly distributed (28). Among them – almost all of the world's largest countries: Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, India.
Under the Confederation refers to the Union of several States, created to achieve any goal: military, economic, or other. The countries belonging to the Confederation, as a rule, retain their sovereignty in domestic policy and global arena.
The Main signs of confederations are the lack of:
All decisions of the Confederation shall be taken by consensus. Each of the parties reserves the right freely to withdraw from such a Union.
The Confederation was common during the XVIII-XIX centuries in Europe. In the last century, there existed a few classic confederations: this is the United Arab Republic, as well as Senegambia. However, they lasted a fairly short time. Today the traits of a Confederation can be seen in the example of the European Union or the organization of the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States).
The powers that be in each of the countries can exercise their powers in different ways. The set of methods and means of implementation of power – this is state-legal regime. It is the main element, criterion for determination of the essence of a state.
There are several types (shapes) of the state legal regime. It can be democratic or non-democratic (authoritarian, totalitarian, fascist, etc.).
To Distinguish a democratic from a totalitarian regime can be very difficult. So, for example, the leadership of the Soviet Union positioned itself before the world as “an island of democratic rights and freedoms”. And many peoples of the world sincerely believed in this lie.
“the power of the founder" - so it can be roughly translated this term from Latin. This political regime is absolutely all power is in the hands of one person (or group of people).
The main features of authoritarianism include the following:
The Constitution when authoritarianism is purely declarative, General election &...
