Political science and politics both are related to government. Politics is the act of governing. There are many different parts of politics, including the judicial, executive, legislative branches. It is an action and a job, while political science is the study of the government. It can be studied in school and can be a major that a person gets a degree in.

Politics are day to day activities that occur in government, including the passing of laws, voting, and hearing arguments. Political science studies not only the current events in politics but also the history and origin of the government.

A lot of people are aware that politics and political science are terms that are used to pertain to how the government is looking into the different issues of the place that it is handling. When you say “politics,” this means that you are referring to the state of the country or the place that is being handled.

Under politics, you will also get to know more about the different decisions that are being made by those who are in power. When you say “political science,” this refers to the different origins of the things that are being handled in politics.

This will tackle the reasons why there are different goals that would need to be reached and what the values that are being followed are.
