Question

Which of the following would not constitute a status or specialized function that is found in all states?

a. control of populations
b. agents to enforce judicial decisions, police the society, and guard the nation against external threats
c. elimination of different rights granted to different social classes
d. taxation

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. elimination of different rights granted to different social classes, as this is not a universal function or status of all states since social hierarchies and class distinctions can vary across different governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking which of the given options would not be considered a standard function or status found in all states. From the provided choices, the one that does not fit as a universal function or status of a state is c. elimination of different rights granted to different social classes. All states inherently control populations, have enforcement agents for judicial decisions, and enforce taxation.

However, elimination of different rights granted to different social classes is not a universal characteristic of all states, as social hierarchies and class distinctions vary widely across different systems of governance.
