Abstract: An invisible ideology and jurisprudence are governing the world society. This has been governing human society from ancient to modern times. When law and ideology start to change, a corresponding change takes place in human society and its structure. The change in the basic ideology of society occurred during the transition of European society from ancient to medieval and to modern. Similarly, modern nation-states are the result of this transition, later globalised. Therefore, the study aims to analyse the ideology of modern-nation states. Specifically, it investigates its origin, evolution and working principles. In this context, the study attempts to analyse what factors contributed its development. As a result, it found that modern nation-states are the result of basic ideological and jurisprudential changes of medieval European society. It concludes that all the crisis faced today can not be resolved until the transformation of the basic ideology or jurisprudence of the society.
