Countries can be referred as geographical land masses and political conglomerates, of which exist variations of definitions of country as a political entity. A tradition laypersons notion (pre-notion of federal states) is of a country unified through an ultimate authority or, many central authorities whose whole laws are specific and accountable only onto itself.\n\nSovereign State and Sovereign Country used synonymously is owed to the trend of countries to come under a single unified sovereign authority. It is a general description rather than a specific political definition.\n\nA sovereign state is an independent authority exercised within shared or adjacent territorial borders, separate from other sets of authorities, usually within the same geography and milieu; a country may operate under multiple independent sovereign states.\n\nWhilst sovereign states often address specific issues of the milieu, it is often less resilient when faced by threats not encompassed in their charter.\n\nSuch states are characterized by centralism, political loyalty, exercising a monopoly in the coercive collection of taxes and the application of organized violence. \n\nA unified effort allowed progressive supremacy over competing smaller institutions and a means of control to safeguard vested interests. \n\nThe emergence of sovereign national states as the ne plus ultra, allowed complex and extensive processes with a large number of distinct causes to be addressed. They were challenged by Empires, the Church and feudal rule.\n\nMonarchies, Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy, are typical centralized authorities (sovereign states) that determine ultimate societal power and independence. \n\nReligion - The precursors to the Knights Templar, under instruction from Rome, governed Malta C16 to C18, under the Sovereign and Military Order of the Knights of Malta.\nTrading - Italian sovereign city-states competed for trade.

Feudal lords had power by retaining not only the lands and $$, but also by restricting the flow of ideas.  When towns form, they bring in not only $$, but also the flow of ideas from other areas.  Once people knew what other options were available (from talking with others), they were no longer satisfied living with the feudal system.  \n\nSince towns also bring a chance for specialization, then it allowed those feudal workers, whose earlier options were reduced only to working on the masters land, some new options. \n\n\nSo basic answer: spread of ideas, spread of $$, new jobs

Government of Laws = The powers of the government are limited by the laws that are put in place. The government can ONLY do what the laws say it can or can't do.  Those in power may change, but the powers they have don't unless the laws are changed.\n\nGovernment of Men = The decisions of the people currently in charge are the extent of the power.  There is no real limit on the governments power, aside from the conscience of those in charge.  Every time someone new comes to power, the laws change to be whatever those in power want.

Unitary government has the powers of state concentrated in one body politic.  Parliamentary government is similar to our federalist government here in America, in that there are two houses with different bases of representation (one based on population, and one based on district or land area).

Democracy is a system where the population of a society controls the government. It may be narrowly defined as that of nation-state government specifically, or more broadly to describe a society as a whole, which can also exert political power and social power.\n\nDemocratic government aspires to serve under "the people" rather than ruling over them. This ideal is pursued by implementing some form of a voting system, usually involving indirect representation (see also republic).\n\nIndia is worlds largest Democracy.

A king rules a kingdom.  And emperor rules an empire.  Japan used to be several kingdoms.  When the kingdoms were united, it became an Empire.  The same with Greece, Rome and Egypt.  They incorporated several kingdoms into their own, and thus became empires.  Technically, the queen of England is an Empress that rules the Bristish Empire.

In short, feudalism has sovereignty based in a single individual, such as a king.  There is levels of society below that individual with each having responsibility ultimately to the king.  In such a system, individual freedoms don’t exist as we understand them today.  Our system is founded on the concept that sovereignty is based on the individual, and as such governmental entities receive their ratification from those individuals.  In this you might read Hobbs (as representing the single sovereign, and Locke representing individual sovereignty. \n\nI believe that it would help to understand what feudalism is before your question has relevance.  \n\n1.A political and economic system of Europe from the 9th to about the 15th century, based on the holding of all land in fief or fee and the resulting relation of lord to vassal and characterized by homage, legal and military service of tenants, and forfeiture. \n2.A political, economic, or social order resembling this medieval system. \nfeudalism (fyoo͞′ dəlĭzəm), form of political and social organization typical of Western Europe from the dissolution of Charlemagne's empire to the rise of the absolute monarchies. The term feudalism is derived from the Latin feodum, for fief, and ultimately from a Germanic word meaning cow, generalized to denote valuable movable property. Although analogous social systems have appeared in other civilizations, the feudalism of Europe in the Middle Ages remains the common model of feudal society.Characteristics of European Feudalism \nThe evolution of highly diverse forms, customs, and institutions makes it almost impossible to accurately depict feudalism as a whole, but certain components of the system may be regarded as characteristic: strict division into social classes, i.e., nobility, clergy, peasantry, and, in the later Middle Ages, burgesses; private jurisdiction based on local custom; and the landholding system dependent upon the fief or fee. Feudalism was based on contracts made among nobles, and although it was intricately connected with the manorial system, it must be considered as distinct from it. Although some men held their land in alod, without obligation to any person, they were exceptions to the rule in the Middle Ages.\nIn an ideal feudal society (a legal fiction, most nearly realized in the Crusaders' Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem), the ownership of all land was vested in the king. Beneath him was a hierarchy of nobles, the most important nobles holding land directly from the king, and the lesser from them, down to the seigneur who held a single manor. The political economy of the system was local and agricultural, and at its base was the manorial system. Under the manorial system the peasants, laborers, or serfs, held the land they worked from the seigneur, who granted them use of the land and his protection in return for personal services (especially on the demesne, the land he retained for his own use) and for dues (especially payment in kind).\nThe Fief \nThe feudal method of holding land was by fief; the grantor of the fief was the suzerain, or overlord, and the recipient was the vassal. The fief was formally acquired following the ceremony of homage, in which the vassal, kneeling before the overlord, put his hands in those of the lord and declared himself his man, and the overlord bound himself by kissing the vassal and raising him to his feet. The vassal then swore an oath of fealty, vowing to be faithful to the overlord and to perform the acts and services due him. This formal procedure served to cement the personal relationship between lord and vassal; after the ceremony the lord invested the vassal with the fief, usually by giving him some symbol of the transferred land. Honors or rights, as well as land, could be granted as fiefs. Gradually the system of subinfeudation evolved, by which the vassal might in his turn become an overlord, granting part of his fief to one who then became vassal to him. Thus very

Government is a system of social control under which the right to make laws, and the right to enforce them, is vested in a particular group in society. \n\nGovernments are distinguished by whether power is held by one man, a few, or a majority. Today, it is common to distinguish between types of government on the basis of institutional organization and the degree of control exercised over the society.\n\nOrganizationally, governments may be classified into parliamentary or presidential systems, depending on the relationship between executive and legislature. Government may also be classified according to the distribution of power at different levels. \n\nThe basic law determining the form of government is called the constitution and may be written, as in the United States, or largely unwritten, as in Great Britain. Modern governments perform many functions besides the traditional ones of providing internal and external security, order, and justice; most are involved in providing welfare services, regulating the economy, and establishing educational systems. The extreme case of governmental regulation of every aspect of people's lives is totalitarianism.
