A more throughout explanation: The legal English definition of the term “civil state” refers to a society or community organized under a system of laws and governed by a civil government, as opposed to a state governed by military or religious authorities. It typically denotes a state that upholds the rule of law, protects individual rights, and maintains order through civil institutions and processes.
Example: In a civil state, all citizens are entitled to equal protection under the law.
