    Society refers to social relationships and networks that have characteristics like unity, organization, objectives, sustainability, and diversity. The fundamental aim of the state is to recognize society through democratic processes and secure rights like rule of law, freedom, equality, and justice for all citizens. The state has elements of territory, population, government, and sovereignty. It is an instrument that serves the purpose of society by maintaining law and order through organized coercion within a defined territory, unlike society which is naturally occurring and may be less organized. While society exists historically prior to the state, the state exists within society for the specific purpose of governance.
