Political Theory

Because China does not allow dissent. In other words, the society is governed by an authority that has absolute power over its citizens, which is the definition of an authoritarian government.

by insisting on minority right :) ~NovaNET~

The democracy of the US depends on the participation of its citizens because it is tailored to be a representative democracy. Citizens need to be involved by voting in representatives who represent their views.

In 2010, more than half of the nations of the world have multiparty systems. All 27 members of the European Union and all 12 members of the Union of South American Nations, as well as most of the 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth) have multiparty systems. In addition, Japan, Mexico, Indonesia, Israel and several other Asian, African, Central American and island nations have multiparty systems.Notable nations whose political systems do not meet the definiton of multiparty system are Russia, the United States of America, the People's Republic of China, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Cuba and North Korea.

A political system essentially based upon anarchy and individual rights. Not anarchy as in chaos, but the philosophical definition of anarchy which is rule by no one. Such a political system would recognize each person's sovereignty to do as he chooses in this life, so long as it does not prevent others from doing so. For example, since everyone is given life, it is theirs to do with as they wish and you should not be able to take it from them, hence, murder is wrong and would not be tolerated. People, in such a political system would have the right to have life, liberty and property and these rights would not be taken away by others as can happen with a democracy (in a democracy, for instance, a majority could crush a minority for the silliest of things, such as making eating with your left hand a capitol offense, or banning religions) but rather would be left to the individual to be the sole person in charge of their actions.

Political systems that are better than democracy rid the idea that plagues democracy of that the majority have a right to control what the minority can do even when they don't affect each other.

Russia is considered to be an illiberal democracy or an authoritarian republic. This means that while there are elections for political leaders, they are more of a joke than a serious political contest between competing political perspectives.

Russia, the Soviet Union didn't exist yet, is the first to adopt communism , but it was invented by two German economists, Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, in their book " The Communist Manifesto ", published in 1848.

In Western countries, they survived mostly by transferring all real power to their Parliament and Governments, a thing that happenend largely in 1848 or shortly after. The royal families that maintained an active involvement in their countries' rule and military affairs almost without exeption did not survive subsequent political upheaval or a lost war; hence the major shake-out after WW 1. Only royal houses that stayed out of active rule and who took on a largely symbolic and ceremonial role as Head of State, survived.

In the (middle) east, surviving royal houses often still do have political power. That is either because they function within a olicharchy or because the King plays a major role in a country's religious traditions.

The Constitution limits the powers of the congress. This is so because in the Constitution it says what each branch of government is supposed to do. The system Checks and Balances also limits the power of the congress because the system makes sher one branch of government takes over the USA.

Pressure groups are organisations of people who all believe in the same cause. Whether it is a sectional group, campaigning for personal gain, or a cause group, working towards a specific cause, they all possess strongly held views and wish to influence some aspect of society. Pressure groups try to gain public support and sympathy for their cause in the hope that they will influence people's decisions or lives, depending on the issue they are focusing on, usually this is done via the media and especially nowadays, the internet. Other than this, the most common methods they tend to use involve carrying out petitions, distributing leaflets or information, and creating newspaper articles or adverts. Some Pressure groups employ professional lobbyists to speak to MP's on the groups behalf. Often pressure groups employ the heavy responsibility of speaking out for and representing the less privileged in society, they listen to people's problems and try to persuade the Government to solve these issues on their behalf

this is called a alliance

The equal-time doctrine specifies that U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide equivalent time for all political parties who request it. The equal-time rule was created because the FCC thought the stations could easily manipulate the outcome of elections by presenting just one point of view.

Communism (classless stateless society) has never existed.

The German kiaser during the 1900's. Also the czar's that ruled Russia for forever until 1918 when communist Russia was established.

A disproportionate share of power is held by the elite. It means that only a few have all the power.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are the authors - The term 'communism' was first used in modern times by the French lawyer Etiénne Cabet in the late 1830s. The term spread rapidly, so that Karl Marx could entitle one of his first political articles of 16 October 1842 'Der Kommunismus und die Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung'. He noted that 'communism' was already an international movement.

The world would never be the same, ancient Greece wouldn't have been the same either because democracy mostly came from them. It wouldn't be the same because nothing would be in order. Nothing would be fair, democracy is,a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. You need democracy for everything to be fair because if nothing is fair people would probably go crazy and the world would be worse, more than what it is already.

Well the answer to this question is simple, the reason for kings and queens are to protect the land that they own. in another way to put that they tried to stop wars but that didn't always happen but they did accomplish most of the battles or wars that they would face in their years of ruling.

There is a lot of debate over this issue, but the countries that people generally think of when they think of Communism (Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam e.t.c) aren't, and weren't, Communist (except perhaps Russia, for a brief period after the Russian Revolution of 1917). Many of them were headed by Communists, but the policies enacted within these countries weren't to serve the people themselves (as is the bottom line of Communist thought), but to serve the top dogs. These countries are typically referred to as Communist States, but that's a contradiction in terms, as one of the main necessities for a country to be Communist is for the structure of the state to be demolished.

A common feature of almost all of the so called 'Communist States' is what is known as State Capitalism, where the productive forces are controlled solely by the state in a capitalistic manner, which isn't Communism. In short, none of the countries that people think of when they think of Communism were Communist. Communism is basically where the means of production are owned collectively by the working class, not the state. The Paris commune and 'anarchist' Spain are small scale examples of this.

The force theory origin of the state argues that the state came into existence through the imposition of coercion (force) upon agents in a region by actors specialising in its use (e.g.) criminals; warriors).
