Question

What differentiate between the notions of STATE and notions of NATION ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2024 Paper 2 Computer Science and Applications Question Paper (07-Apr-2024)
The correct answer is

Sovereignty

A state is a political and legal entity with four essential elements: population, territory, government and sovereignty.

A nation, on the other hand, is a community of people bound by a shared sense of identity, culture, language, history or common aspirations; it is a psychological and cultural concept.

A nation may exist without being sovereign (for example, stateless nations such as the Kurds), whereas a state cannot exist without sovereignty, which is its distinguishing attribute.

People, government, territory and political integration can be associated with both notions to some extent, but supreme legal authority is what makes a state distinct from a nation.

Hence, Sovereignty.
