3. OBJECTIVES
 To understand the basic concept of political
science
 To develop a critical way of thinking in
interpreting Politics and Government
 To evaluate how they know and understand the
topic

4. POLITICAL SCIENCE
(DE LEON, 1999)
 Systematic study of state and government
 POLITICAL- derived from the Greek word “POLIS” –meaning a city
or the sovereign state
 SCIENCE- comes from the Latin “SCIRE”-means “to know”

5. SCIENCE OF POLITICS
1. It is the basic knowledge and understanding of the
state and the principles and ideals which underlie
its organization and activities
2. It is primarily concerned with the association of
human beings into ‘body politic’ or in a political
community
3. It deals with those relations among men and groups
which are subject to control by the state with the
relations of men and groups to the state itself and
the relations of the state to other state

6. HISTORY AND THE
RELATIONSHIP IN POLITICAL
SCIENCE
 History is a study of the various facts of human
life and is closely linked with other social
sciences which make a specific study of different
facts of human life.

7. HISTORY AND THE
RELATIONSHIP IN
POLITICAL SCIENCE
 the relationship between history and political science
beautifully that, “History without political science has
no fruit and political science without history has no
root.” A historian is not merely concerned with the
tracing of the history of the political process by a
narration of the episodes.
 But he has to learn the nature of fundamental political
principles and basic forms of political institution. In
the view of this closeness between two subjects, the
development of political institutions, rules,
regulations, right and duties, law and mode of justice,
executive, legislative and administrative functions,
economic and financial implications, nature of
bureaucracy, fundamental principles of state policy
are all defined under the constitution history.

9. INTERPRETATION OF THE
DIAGRAM
PEOPLE as the FOCAL of all areas of POLITICS,
GOVERNMENT and CONSTITUTION because it is
the human individual who is the revolving actor
of the state, it is to people why there is an
existent laws. The right is vested to and it simply
denotes that the he/she is the MAIN ACTOR.
