Religious divisions often led to internal conflicts and power struggles, undermining rulers' authority and complicating governance. Different religious groups could have conflicting loyalties and interests, making it difficult for rulers to unify their subjects under a common national identity. Additionally, rulers might face challenges in gaining legitimacy and support from various factions, which could lead to rebellions or civil wars. Ultimately, these divisions hindered the development of strong, centralized states and contributed to ongoing instability.
Some political leaders in the 1790s attempted to overcome the divisions of the 1780s by focusing on increasing the prosperity and stability of the country. However, many of the reforms that were proposed by Alexander Hamilton and others were still hotly contested, and political divisions remained and even intensified.
Some factors that threaten a nation-state's stability include economic instability, social and political divisions, corruption, external threats, and environmental challenges. Economic instability can lead to unemployment and poverty, which can trigger social unrest and political instability. Social and political divisions, such as ethnic or religious tensions, can also create instability by fueling conflicts and weakening government institutions. Corruption undermines trust in the government and can lead to political instability. External threats, such as terrorism or invasion, can destabilize a nation-state. Environmental challenges like natural disasters or climate change can also have destabilizing effects, causing displacement of populations, destruction of infrastructure, and resource scarcity.
