Question

What is the history of politics?

Answer 1

Political history is the history of the polis, the res publica, the citizen body; political events are what was done by it, to it, or in its name. Since a citizen body is made up of individuals, the rules which constitute it are the basis of the subject. The first questions should be: who? how? where? when?

Political history is the narrative and survey of political events, ideas, movements, organs of government, voters, parties and leaders.

Answer 2
