abstract
| - Politics, for this discussion, refers to the unequal distribution of power between groups and individuals within a state. While we usually measure power by wealth, power can also be expressed in other ways, for example: authority, as in the military, or status, as in a class system. The modern state is a compulsory association that organizes the distribution of this power. A government requires an administration to exert its control. Understanding one’s political philosophy first requires you to decide what you think the goals of government should be, then to decide how to best achieve these goals.
