Political systems shape every aspect of society, yet their underlying principles can often seem complex. Understanding the mechanics of power, law, and citizenship is essential for navigating the modern world. This course provides a comprehensive, text-based foundation in political science.

What you'll learn: * Understand the fundamental concepts of the Constitution, including rights, duties, and directive principles. * Analyze core political ideologies such as liberalism, socialism, and nationalism, and their real-world applications. * Master the structure and function of key government institutions (legislature, executive, judiciary) and electoral processes. * Apply theories of justice, equality, and social responsibility to current political debates. * Examine the principles of digital citizenship and the influence of media and technology on political participation and governance. * Practice interpreting political data and identifying foundational political concepts in contemporary policy. The course begins with defining political science terminology and tracing the historical development of state concepts. We then progress systematically through constitutional theory, institutional analysis, and foundational political philosophy.
