Broadly speaking, there are two schools of thought on state formation: voluntary and forcible (Carneiro, A Theory of the Origin of the State). The voluntary theories generally posit that society organises and submits to a higher authority for the greater good of everyone, whilst the forcible theories suggest that states come about through violent domination and conquest by military force that originates either inside or outside the society. voluntarist.net/mutilating-the-social-contract/
