Feudal Societies
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Feudal societies organize agricultural production through a hereditary hierarchy in which land is held in exchange for service and protection.

A lord grants land use; the tenant owes labor, a share of harvest, and military service in return.
