Answer 1

In his systems theory, David Easton characterized politics as the "authoritative allocation of values." He proposed that politics fundamentally involves the prioritization and distribution of societal values through decision-making and policy implementation. Easton's framework focused on a political system's inputs (demands and supports), outputs (decisions and actions), and feedback mechanisms.
