These are the theories on the origin of state as have been formed and developed as a result of the political
thought: philosophy in the ancient time until the enlightens period in Europe.

1. Natural Theory.

The social urge of the human being to be within a group of people in the community as in sociology
describes that "man is a social being." The social group provides the political development to stay and
work together with common standard law in the community later on transform as a state.

2. Patriarchal Theory.

The origin of the state evolves from the enlargement of family under the authority of the parents or the
elders. Later on, it will develop into a tribe, kingdom then state. 3. Force Theory.

The creation of the state through the constant war and invasion of the great warriors in the ancient time
dominated the weak that later on formed a state.

4. Divine Right Theory.

The rulers of the past advocated the political dominance of authority and power through their own
ordained mandate that they represented the state as on the basis of the divine right (as God created the
state). It was in this nature that the divine rights of kings has the absolute power and influence over the
subjects.

5. Social Contract Theory.

This is the right of the people to have the deliberate anc voluntary contract on the right to overthrow the
kings and rulers against corrupt governance to organize a new government with common interest for all
the people.
