There are other writers who have emphasized the autonomous rights of particular groups or who support some type of social organisation. They protest against the omnicompetence of the State. Figgis criticises the efforts of the modern political leaders, "to invade the proper spheres of such essential social groups as churches, trade unions, local communities, and the family." The State, he says, did not create the family nor did it create the churches; nor even in any real sense can it be said to have created the clubs or trade unions, nor in the middle ages, the guild or the religious order, hardly even the universities or the colleges within the colleges within the universities: they have all arisen out of the natural associative instincts of mankind, and should all be treated by the supreme anthority as having a life original and guaranteed to be controlled and directed like persons, but not regarded in their corporate capacity as mere names." Figgis gives to the State a superior right over all other associations, but this superior right is only for co-ordination and adjustment.
