Force theory

The Force Theory suggests that a state or government is formed when someone or a group uses power, strength, or authority to impose control over an area and its people. Essentially, it’s created through the presence of force or military might, with the leader or ruling body maintaining power by compelling obedience. This idea emphasizes that authority is established and sustained through coercion or force, rather than through voluntary agreement or democratic processes. It explains how some governments or regimes have historically gained and maintained power by exerting control through force.
