HOW WERE THE COUNTRIES FORMED????
In the Stone age, human beings roamed in tribes. When the number of people started growing, they started assigning ranks and divided the tasks among them. Gradually, villages and cities were formed, and finally countries came into existence. Rules were laid down to ensure a smooth community living. Thus, the first constitutions were created, which defined the rights and the duties of the inhabitants. Today, new countries are formed when a part of an existing country declares itself independent.
