Question

Relationship between political science and history​

Answer 1

Answer:

Political Science is very closely related to History. The relation between the two is so deep that some scholars like Freeman go to the extent of observing that:

“History is past Politics and Politics is present History.”

All political institutions —State, Government, Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and others— have a history of evolution behind them. Without studying their history Political Science cannot really study their contemporary nature, position and relations among these.

Hence, Political Science always takes the help of History for studying political institutions i.e. the history of their evolution from their emergence and gradual evolution into their contemporary forms, powers, functions, mutual relations and relative positions.
