What is the relationship between the functions and the nature of the State?

The relationship between the functions and the nature of the state is a topic in the course on state theory and law. To be specific:

The relationship between state functions and the nature of the state is the relationship between form and content, where the function pertains to the category of form and the nature pertains to the category of content.

State functions are the outward manifestation of the state's nature. When the state performs its basic areas of activity, it reveals whose state it is, by whom, and for whom. The aspects of basic activities undertaken by the state, the forms, methods, and purposes pursued reflect the nature of that state.

The nature of the state significantly influences the various activities of the state. The priority given to the fulfillment of tasks and functions, and the manner in which they are carried out, depends on who holds state power.
