The evolutionary theory of the origins of the state emphasizes the government.
Evolutionary Theory
The belief that the state originated due to changes in the social order
The evolutionary theory of the origin of the state posits that states developed gradually from small, kin-based groups as societies grew in complexity. As populations expanded and interactions increased, the need for organized governance emerged to manage resources, resolve conflicts, and maintain social order. This theory emphasizes the role of social evolution, where leadership and authority structures evolved naturally from familial ties and tribal hierarchies. Ultimately, the state is viewed as a natural progression of social organization rather than a sudden or artificial creation.
Small, separate family units or clans cooperate or "team-up" with each other to better their chances of survival.
The Social Contract Theory
The four theories of the State Origin are as follows: Evolutionary theory, Divine theory, Social Contract theory and Force theory. There are instances that consider an extra two which are the Patriarchal theory and Diving Right of Kings theory.
The "state" is not part of evolutionary theory.

The Natural Theory- man's urge toward being part of the community.The Force Theory- one person or group forced all people within an area to obey their rule. It happens through war, where the strong dominated the weak.The Divine Theory- God created the state, and that He gave certain people the "divine right" to govern these lands.The Divine Right of Kings Theory- spiritual power was given to certain as sovereigns of the state and thus absolute power of his subjects.The Social Contract Theory- the state is essentially a contract between the leader and the people.The Patriarchal Theory- the father head of the family. the family is the first constituent of society.
