 A variety of methods are employed in
politics, which include promoting one's own
political views among
people, negotiation with other political
subjects, making laws, and exercising force,
including warfare against adversaries

4.  Politics is exercised on a wide
range of social levels,
from clans and tribes of traditional
societies, through modern local
governments, companies and
institutions up to sovereign states,
to the international level.

5. Philippine Politics
 took place in an organized framework of
a presidential, representative, and
democratic republic whereby the president is
both the head of state and the head of
government within a pluriform multi-party
system.

and sovereign yet interdependent branches

10. Classifications of
Government

11.  Is a political
system based
upon the
undivided
sovereignty or
rule of a single
person.

12.  It cames from
Aristokratia, a Greek
word meaning rule
of the best.
 This is why both
Aristotle and Plato
considered
aristocracy to be
the best type of
governance.

13. Oligarchic
 Is the rule of the
chosen few, and
these chosen few
happen to be the
rich and the
privileged in
Oligarchy.

14.  It is a form of
government in
which all eligible
citizens have an
equal say in the
decisions that
affect their lives.

16. Federal Government
 -this is one in
which the powers
of the Government
are divided into
two sets of organs,
one for the
national affairs,
and the other for
local affairs.

17. Civil Government
 The affairs of
the state are
administered
and Directed by
the citizens or
by their
representatives

18. Laws

19. Laws
 a system of rules which are enforced
through social institutions to govern
behaviour
 Laws can be made by legislatures through
legislation, the executive through decrees
and regulations, or judges through binding
precedents.
 The law shapes politics, economics,
and society in various ways and serves as a
mediator of relations between people.

20. International law
 Can refer to three things:
(a) public international law,
(b) conflict of laws
(c) the law of supranational
organisations.

21. Public International Law
 concerns relationships between sovereign
nations.
 Public international law can be formed by
international organisations, such as the United
Nations, the International Labour Organization,
the World Trade Organization, or the
International Monetary Fund.

22. Conflict of Laws
 concerns which jurisdiction a legal dispute
between private parties should be heard in and
which jurisdiction's law should be applied.
 Today, businesses are increasingly capable of
shifting capital and labour supply chains across
borders, as well as trading with overseas
businesses, making the question of which country
has jurisdiction even more pressing.

23. Law of supranational organisations
 concerns organisations such as the UN,
the World Trade Organisation, and the European
Union.
 European Union law is the first and, so far, only
example of an internationally accepted legal
system other than the UN and the World Trade
Organisation
 These institutions are allowed the ability to
enforce legal norms both against or for member
states and citizens in a manner which is not
possible through public international law.
