Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the concept of polity and its consequences. Generally speaking, the concept of polity refers to politics, government and law. The polity or the public system is the major frame in which individuals and groups agree to solve their problems and differences and try to achieve both their separate and common interests. The polity’s basic functions are to protect societies against foreign enemies, maintain internal order, facilitate the adaptation process to new conditions and, last but not the least, give legitimacy to power relations.
