Politics

Politics is the process through which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the distribution and exercise of power, authority, and governance within a society. Politics encompasses various activities, including the formulation of laws, the negotiation of policies, and the management of public resources. It often includes the interaction of different entities such as governments, political parties, interest groups, and the electorate. Political systems can range from democracies, where power is derived from the consent of the governed, to autocracies, where power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small group. The study of politics also examines the principles behind political behavior, ideologies, and the impact of political decisions on social and economic conditions.
