The Anarchists and Marxists have defined the state as an instrument of coecion which suppresses individuals, groups in society in the interests of particular dominating classes. the definition is incomplete based on the observations of some political authorities. The states in such primitive societies, whether of the past or of the present are either unitary or proto democratic in character. Second, even in the class societies we find farsighted rules who make laws unfavorable of the interests of the dominating classes. Third, there are numerous instances, even in rigid class societies, of people having risked everything including their lives, to defend the states against the dangers facing them. Fourth, most far-sighted rulers and political thinkers have recognized that the state can have stability only on the besis of voluntary consent of the people, All these considerations show that the state is not always and simply and instrument of class oppression.
