10. Political obligation and the State are linked together in (CUET PG 2021)

1. T. H. Green

2. J. S. Mill

3. R. M. Maclver

4. Harold Laski

Political obligation is the idea that citizens have a moral duty to obey the laws of their country or state. The state is linked to political obligation in the idea that citizens have a duty to support the state in a number of ways, including: Obeying the law, Promoting the state's interests, Defending the state when attacked, Voting, and Being active citizens.

Political obligation is thought to have originated with T.H. Green's 1879 lectures at Oxford University. Some theories of political obligation include:
Consent: The idea that political obligation is based on consent
Fair play: The idea that people have a duty to obey the law because they are participating in a joint enterprise
In cases where an act or forbearance that is required by law is morally obligatory on independent grounds, political obligation simply gives the citizen an additional reason for acting accordingly.

4. A - III, B - IV, C-II, D-I

Here are key elements of how Hegel envisions the transformation of a state into an ethical state:

Recognition of Freedom: An ethical state recognizes and upholds the freedom of its individuals. Freedom, in Hegel's view, is not a license to do anything but the realization of one's true self within the context of a community.

Objective Spirit: Hegel's concept of "objective spirit" involves the embodiment of ethical principles in the laws, institutions, and practices of the state. This objective spirit reflects the shared ethical life of the community.

Development of Institutions: The ethical state develops institutions that promote the common good and facilitate the ethical development of its citizens. These institutions include the family, civil society, and the state, each playing a role in fostering ethical life.

Realization of Individual and Universal Will: The state, for Hegel, mediates between the individual will and the universal will. Through political participation and the development of laws, individuals contribute to the formation of a rational and ethical order that aligns with the common good.

Sovereignty of Reason: In an ethical state, reason governs both the actions of individuals and the decisions of the state. The ethical order is not arbitrary but is based on rational principles that contribute to the well-being of the community.

Civic Virtue and Duty: Citizens in an ethical state exhibit civic virtue and fulfill their duties. The ethical life is realized when individuals recognize their responsibilities to the community and actively participate in the political and social life of the state.
