Though some of the well known political thinkers like H.J. Laski and
G.D.H.Cole treated the government as synonymous with state, they have the
following differences :
|
State
|
Government
|
|
1. Consists
of all the citizens. It is broader.
2. Permanent
political institution.
3. Sovereignty
an essential attribute.
4. Can’t
be opposed by people due to no right.
5. An
abstract institution can’t be seen.
6. Loyalty
of the citizens to their state is compulsory.
|
1.
A body of some citizens. It is narrower.
2.
Not permanent. Subject to change due to elections and revolutions.
3.
Does not possess sovereignty, acts in behalf of state.
4.
If suffering from bad gov, people can oppose.
5.
Concrete and definite, has physical existence and establishment.
6.
In democracy people have the right to criticize for its acts of omission and commission.
