An effective state is the political body of the state that is working well in terms of the national law and

civil laws that have been adhered to. The economy is doing well, and the freedom of life and liberty
is well preserved for all the people in the state. An example is The USA which is thriving with all its
institutions working and achieving the role meant for them by the constitution.

A weak state like the state of Pakistan in Asia is a good example. The government is not strong and
has various liabilities towards the foreign powers, and the people in the state are having bad times
dealing with daily needs. So, the sovereign government is still there, but it's incapable of
administering the nation or its people well as enshrined in their constitution.

A failed state, for the example of Syria in the Middle East or Western Asia, is an example of a failed
state. The political bodies have failed to keep up the basics for their people or the government to the
extent that the government is no longer working correctly, and the people are hugely suffering for
daily needs.
