The institutional element of the state usually implies the organization of state power, and, therefore, considering the state as an institution of institutions according to M. Oriu [1] allows us to study the organization of the state, the apparatus of the state as a set of government bodies, managerial positions and stable connections between them. The institutional method of legal science, proposed by us earlier, will help us with this and will be used [2]. The mechanism of the state, as the classical theory of law and state insists, is an organization of power or a hierarchical organization that exercises state power [3, p. 565]. In our opinion, due to the fact that the hierarchy of the organization of state power is not identical in different states, moreover, the organization of state power in a single state is a unique phenomenon, a unique set of government bodies with their competencies, rights and responsibilities, managerial positions and a unique a set of stable connections between them, then the mechanism of the state, as well as the ways of organizing power relations, differ from state to state. However, the article makes an attempt to highlight stable models of state mechanisms using historical, legal and institutional legal methods of scientific knowledge.
