In the early chapters, Herzl systematically outlines the historical and social context for the Jewish question, emphasizing the need for Jews to have their own homeland. He argues that Jewish assimilation into European societies had failed to protect them from discrimination and that a permanent solution would be the creation of a Jewish state. Herzl does not call for religious or cultural reasons for this state but frames it as a practical and political necessity.Herzl goes on to propose the organizational steps needed to achieve this state. He suggests that a corporation, called "The Jewish Company," be established to facilitate the migration and settlement of Jews in the new land, whether in Palestine or another suitable location. Herzl emphasizes that the process should be orderly and managed through diplomacy, legal agreements, and financial investments. He envisions the Jewish state as a modern, democratic nation with equal rights for all its inhabitants.
