It means the substitution of a spatial principle for a kinship principle, of spatial relations for blood relations in the subdivisions of the group, and of administrative areas for clans. Apart from this, it means the dissolution of formerly internally coherent subgroups and the combination of.their elements in a single large structure which appears more mechanical, but also more rational, than the biological and emotional bonds of the tribal system. The territorial principle is the immediate expression of the unity of the state. The danger of a suborganization for the state lies in the fact that its basic principle may be hostile to spatial relations. Blood relationships are su- perspatial and do not fit into a political system based on territory. A political organization based on kinship must crumble after it has grown to a certain size, because the subdivisions have a strong organic unity which is entirely independent of the common territory. The unity of the state can be preserved only if its subgroups are formed on a principle that is indifferent to that unity and at the same time less exclusive. The organization of the state on the basis of administrative territorial subdivisions fulfils these requirements. It enables genetically and qualitatively different elements which are spatially related to function as units without thereby endangering the unity of the whole. Such territorial subdivisions are much less likely to develop particularistic tendencies than subgroups consist- ing of closely related elements held together by kinship and forming strong unitary structures. This is the advan- tage of a subdivision according to a spatial principle. The complete impartiality and the identity of relationships be-
