POLITICS

Politics Politics is the study or practice of the

distribution of power and resources within a given community

A variety of methods are employed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries

Politics is exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through modern local governments, companies and institutions up to sovereign states, to the international level.

Philippine Politics took place in an organized framework of

a presidential, representative, and democratic republic whereby the president is both the head of state and the head of government within a pluriform multi-party system.

This system revolves around three separate and sovereign yet interdependent branches

Government

The Government

The state expresses & enforces its will through the government

The government exists for the benefit of the people

It promotes the physical, economic, & socio-cultural well being of the people

It administers social justice, promotes progress & development, security & protection

Legislative Branch Judicial Branch

Executive Branch

Executive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the president.

Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two-chamber Congress: the Senate (the upper chamber) and the House of Representatives (the lower chamber).

Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of the Philippines as the highest judicial body.

Classifications of

Government

Is a political system based upon the undivided sovereignty or rule of a single person.

It cames from Aristokratia, a Greek word meaning rule of the best.

This is why both Aristotle and Plato considered aristocracy to be the best type of governance.

Oligarchic

Is the rule of the chosen few, and these chosen few happen to be the rich and the privileged in Oligarchy.

It is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.

Federal Government

-this is one in which the powers

of the Government are divided into

two sets of organs, one for the

national affairs, and the other for

local affairs.

Civil Government

The affairs of the state are administered

and Directed by the citizens or

by their representatives

Laws

Laws a system of rules which are enforced

through social institutions to govern behaviour

Laws can be made by legislatures through legislation, the executive through decrees and regulations, or judges through binding precedents.

The law shapes politics, economics, and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.

International law

Can refer to three things:

(a) public international law,

(b) conflict of laws

(c) the law of supranational organisations.

Public International Law

concerns relationships between sovereign

nations.

Public international law can be formed by

international organisations, such as the United

Nations, the International Labour Organization,

the World Trade Organization, or the

International Monetary Fund.

Conflict of Laws concerns which jurisdiction a legal dispute

between private parties should be heard in and which jurisdiction's law should be applied.

Today, businesses are increasingly capable of shifting capital and labour supply chains across borders, as well as trading with overseas businesses, making the question of which country has jurisdiction even more pressing.

Law of supranational organisations

concerns organisations such as the UN, the World Trade Organisation, and the European Union.

European Union law is the first and, so far, only example of an internationally accepted legal system other than the UN and the World Trade Organisation

These institutions are allowed the ability to enforce legal norms both against or for member states and citizens in a manner which is not possible through public international law.
