While I would agree with the earlier assertion that doing one's own homework is ideal, I am happy to help provided this is for a freshman poli sci class, you were out partying all weekend and would like to start partying again but this stupid thing is getting in the way. \n\nPower can be loosely defined as "A"s ability to exert pressure or force over "B" to compel "B" to do something that "B" would not otherwise do. There are many schools of thought surrounding this term, however and it depends upon the scholar/context to determine the "correct" response. \n\nLegitimacy is usually looked at in terms of governmental authority in the eyes of the governed. Simplistically speaking governments are "legitimate" if they obtained and retain their authority through the approval of the governed.\n\nIf power is the ability to force someone else to do something, authority is similar in that you have the ability to force someone to do something, and that ability is granted or earned. \n\nAs an example, the citizens of South Park were powerless to stop the Chicken F'er. As a result, the legitimate government of South Park granted Eric Cartman the authoritah to enfore state security. Had Cartman been able to exert true power, he would have been able to compel the Chicken F'er through fear or force to refrain from F'ing chickens.

I remember a study some years back that was basically a survey of people's political and social inclinations.  The subjects were asked to answer some questions about social issues, but the questions were not just the ordinary "are you for or against..." variety.  They were more complex and required some introspection before arriving at an answer.  I believe the subjects were also asked to identify themselves politically (e.g. liberal or conservative).  Interestingly, though, the results of the experiment showed that most people, regardless of how they identify themselves, are actually quite moderate in their views.  Had the questions been simple yes/no answers, the results would likely have been polarized.    \n\nAt the time I remember being fairly satisfied with the results, because it told me that the majority of the world is made of rational people who are capable of looking at both sides of an issue without consulting their team's handbook for the easy answer.  Social issues (including, I think, religion) are enormously complex, and do not deserve easy answers.  \n\nAnd I know your question was posted in the religion section, but I think the point remains: when complex issues are separated from their black-and-white image (e.g. pro-life, pro-choice; theist, atheist), the dogmatic "go-team" attitude falls away and people begin to think rationally.\n\nAlso, (and I don't know why) people tend to perceive ambivalence as a character flaw, or some sort of personal and moral failing.  That is why the dysphemism "wishy-washy" carries so much weight.  So perhaps in order to NOT be perceived this way, many people take a hard-line on issues they don't REALLY feel strongly about.

Currently, the best thing about politics is we are seeing a lot of true colors across the board. Politicians that are solid are starting to rise above.\n\nThe biggest problem with politics is the average voter is emotionally attached to their party.

You could always pull some topics from whats happening in the world today. You could also tackle topics that are controversial. I think one topic that might be interesting is "How liberal is the media".\n\nBeing that you are interested in Conservative Journalism you may want to read "Letters to a Young Conservative" by Dinesh D'Souza. You can find it at amazon.com or your local library may have it.\n\nGood luck with your endeavor!

Its a good start, Number one would solve most problems on its own. The rules I would like to add would be;\n5. Politics will become open and free for all people to have their say, a true democracy based on the right to attend law making debates to raise and vote on the issues  that concern you.\n6. Politicians will not be paid, but will only get expenses based on the average wage of a person from the area they represent

Your best bet for this type of question is the library.

OK, let's say someone was looking for an answer to something that he/she wanted to know about, let's just say they wanted to know about what research was.  They would go somehow and seek an answer for their desired subject matter and then after they had done as much research as they wanted or could do then they would possibly come up with an answer . If you wanted the research to be rationale then it would have to include something that is an essential or necessary part of a system or object (system or object being in this example: research).

I'd say that voters need to update their knowledge about the political system. It's not like 200 years back when you just voted for one or the other party, if you are aware that things changed then you should inform yourself of what to vote for.

Depends on the class. If it is political science or US History, then study and debate. If it's math or science, then report him/her to the principal and/or school board.
