1. Repressive state apparatus is when government uses the threat of violence to control. An Example would be police , courts and prisons to enforce when an individual is not trying to abide by the law in society. Repressive state apparatus is used to keep order , put people in line as Althusser stated.
  2. Ideological state apparatus is the complete opposite . It will not use violence but rather use another form of control . For example like Religion. When people believe in the lord they would be controlled in not wanting to disobey the lord therefore leading them to do the right things in society .
