The present work aims to discuss the development of agriculture by the primitive human being and its reflexes in the social differentiation that caused the emergence of the classit State. For this, we discuss the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution and its consequences in the possibility of obtaining the economic surplus, as well as the relations of this process with the establishment of social classes. Then, we debate how the State emerges as an agent of the class struggle that operates in favor of the dominant social class having, in its origin, a class character. From this brief historical review, we found that the development of primitive agriculture was a fundamental factor for the emergence of social classes, as well as concluding that the State, when it emerged immersed in this process, originally has a class character.
