Military state
The military state and civil state is a centralized state organization of the 18th and 19th centuries, subject to the structure of command and obedience, which has occasionally been compared to the organization of the Chinese official state .
It applies to the territorial civil and military hierarchy of court and administrative and communicates through dress codes and the Order awards their order. The rise within this hierarchy is accompanied by salary increases and, especially in the civil state, by certain social behaviors ( submissiveness and anticipatory obedience ).
However, the system also has the social advantage of self-discipline, which Norbert Elias has examined in his standard work The Process of Civilization .
Gustav Freytag reports on the Prussian military state in Pictures from the German Past and Ulrich Bräker in Armen Mann im Tockenburg .
