An animal i.s composed of many organs performing dif- 

 ferent functions. Thus i.s found the brain — the organ of 

 lliought, the organ of breathing, the organs of digestion, the 

 organs of circuhition, the organs of locomotion, and so forth. 

 Running through all these organs and forming a plexus 

 "svith them, are the systems of tissues. Thus avc find the 

 nervous, vascular, and muscular systems, the whole forming 

 a. complex tissue of organs, and systems of organs, rendering 

 the organism excessively complex in pln'sical constitution. 



In the examination of the constitution of any particular 

 state, it will usually be found that one S3''stem of organiza- 

 tion permeates and' pervades other systems in such a manner 

 that the individual state is found excessivelj^ complex. 

 Through the series of units into which the state is organ- 

 ized for the purposes of government, both classes and ranks 

 are interwoven, and through the government units — the 

 classes and the ranks— corporations are interwoven. 



In the Muskoki Confederacy there are forty-nine tribes, 

 each one having a government of its own. But these forty- 

 nine tribes are organized in such a manner that a common 

 government is provided for the whole. Now, the confed- 

 eracy is the grand unit, the tribes are units of a second 

 order. But the clans of one tribe are also the clans of 

 another, so that each clan is distributed through many 

 tribes, and each clan has a government of its own, subsid- 

 iary to the government of the tribe, and again subsidiary 

 to the government of the confederacy. The organization 

 for a clan is woven through the organization for a tribe in 

 such a manner as to make the constitution of the state com- 

 plex. 



In those states where the organizations which we have 

 here called corporations are highly developed, the corpora- 

 tions themselves render the constitution of the state com- 

 plex. , Church organizations do not run parallel with state 

 lines, but extend their operations and their control over 

 their own members regardless of political divisions. 



All states that have been studied have been thus found, 

 both compound and complex. Such are the essential char- 

 acteristics of the social oroanization of mankind into states.
