State versus Nation

State is a community of persons more or less numerous permanently occupying a definite

portion of territory, having a government of their own to which the great body of inhabitants render

obedience and enjoying freedom from external control. People are the one elements of the state

because without people of the government there is no subject to be governed. Another is Territory is

the one elements of the state it is important because without land, waters, like rivers, bays, seas the

people are not living them with their needs everyday like food are not being needed. Government, it

refers to the agency through which the will of the state is formulated, expressed and carried out. It is

more important also the government because without government of our society are not improving

because the policies or laws of the government are not being implemented. Sovereignty, it is the

supreme power of the state, because to have freedom from foreign control. They have a power by using

sovereignty. (Hector S. De Leon and hector M. De Leon Jr. 1987 Philippine Constitution) P.6,7,8,9.
