Politics impacts our lives directly or indirectly, whether we are aware of its effects
or not. If there is a crime that took place, we call a police, and this scheme is part of

a part of government. Military is government as well, let alone our civil liberty and our
rights which have influences on us daily. In school, you were asked to read by heart
the Constitution. When you are apprehended by an authority, you asked your violation

are being enforced and followed. All these things are related to a field called Political
Science.
