Military power can be used to suppress dissent and enforce authority through force and coercion. Social structure, such as hierarchies and norms, can be used to maintain control by shaping societal expectations and behaviors, reinforcing power dynamics, and limiting opportunities for resistance or change. Together, military power and social structure can work in tandem to uphold existing power structures and prevent challenges to authority.
