    Political science is the study of state, government, and political activities from the individual to global levels. Traditionally, it focused on the study of state and government, but modern views broadened its scope to include all activities related to power, influence, and authority. Political theory is a branch of political science that analyzes political institutions, events, and facts scientifically and draws normative conclusions to envision ideal systems. While political theory is not independent, it represents the conceptual foundation of political science.
