What is the two function of political system

Answer 1

Explanation:

Functions of a Political System:

Almond and Coleman (1960) have described the following three main functions of a political system:

1. To maintain integration of society by determining norms.

2. To adapt and change elements of social, economic, religious systems necessary for achieving collective (political) goals.

3. To protect the integrity of the political system from outside threats.

They have grouped these functions into two categories:

(1) Input functions—political socialization, interest articulation, interest aggregation, and political communication; and

(2) output functions—rule making, rule appli­cation and rule adjudication.

Eisenstadt (1966) has classified the functions of a political system as:

(i) legislative,

(ii) decision-making, and

(iii) administrative.
