Which term refers to the set of rules that organize a country's political life?

• A. Economic System
• B. Rights
• C. Society
• D. Political System

Answer: (D)

Think about what shapes how a country is governed—the rules, institutions, and processes that decide who holds power and how laws are made. That framework is the political system. It includes the constitution, branches of government, elections, and courts—everything that organizes political life and decision-making.

The other terms describe different aspects of a country: an economic system deals with how goods and services are produced and distributed; rights refer to the freedoms and protections people have within the system; society is the people and their relationships and culture. None of these single terms capture the full framework that governs political life, so the term that best fits “the set of rules that organize a country's political life” is the political system.
