Still, in its restricted field, the scheme is logical and sufficient. In its broad outlines (omitting the elaborate sub-groupings), it comprises five basic elements: the state, an institution of power for social control; law, the regulation of power; government, the mechanism of power; politics, the exercise of power; and mind, the residence of power...
