Question

In what sequence did government and society develop over time ?

Answer 1

Sociocultural evolution, sociocultural evolutionism or cultural evolution are theories of cultural and social evolution that describe howcultures and societies change over time. Whereas sociocultural development traces processes that tend to increase the complexity of a society or culture, sociocultural evolution also considers process that can lead to decreases in complexity (degeneration) or that can produce variation or proliferation without any seemingly significant changes in complexity . evolution is "the process by which structural reorganization is affected through time, eventually producing a form or structure which is qualitatively different from the ancestral form".

Answer 2

Society came first, then the government.

Step-by-step explanation:

In The Origin of Family, Private Property and the State, Friedrich Engels outlines the development of human societies from the early tribal organization up to the development of the first forms of government. According to Engels, humans created the first primitive societies as a means of survival. Not only humans found safety in numbers, but most importantly, the larger the tribe, the more productive collective work was. Hunter-gatherer societies had very scarce resources available, so everybody shared the work, and everybody shared what was extracted and produced, so they had a primitive form of communism as their economic organization.

It was with the development of agriculture that the first forms of state power appeared. Agriculture meant that now societies could produce a surplus of food and other goods. This surplus was eventually appropriated by tribal leaders, creating private property. In order to defend their claim to private property, the leaders of these societies created the first forms of state power, like a government, religion, and armed forces.
