A unique feature of a state is organized laws. A state is a political entity that has a defined territory, a permanent population, and a government with the power to make and enforce laws. The government's ability to enforce laws and provide order is what sets a state apart from other types of social organizations. Without organized laws, a state would be unable to maintain order and protect the rights of its citizens. The laws help to regulate social behavior and provide a framework for resolving disputes and conflicts in a peaceful manner.
