THE GENESIS OF THE MODERN STATE

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF POLITICAL POWER INTO FORMATION OF THE MODERN STATE IN EUROPE

Abstract

To focusing analysis on the changing of political power from power of the Church given by the warrior nobility, relating to power of the princes and the conquest of the political power by civilians, this research seeks to study the European dynamics into formation of the modern state. To this end, it’s based on the fact that in the eighteenth century, in some parts of Europe, the professional political – can be read civilian politics – supported by the bourgeoisie stifled monarchical power and laid the foundations of the form of modern states. Usually, issues such as territory, people and languages have become a guideline in the formation of states. Because of the complexity of these issues that the consolidation of modern state in Europe gained meaning just at the dawn of nineteenth century. Which means the word “State” acquired conceptual meaning in use since that century.
