Discussion
According to David Easton Political System has certain key aspects. Identify the correct aspects :
(i) Political system is just one among other forms of social system.
(ii) Political system allocates by means of policies.
(iii) Its allocations are not authoritative.
(iv) Its allocations are not binding on society.
Answer: A
The correct aspects are (i) and (ii).
David Easton defined the political system as that system of interactions through which values are authoritatively allocated for a society. He treated it as one system among the other social systems of society (statement i), which allocates values by means of policies (statement ii).
Statements iii and iv deny the two defining features of Easton's definition: political allocations are authoritative and binding on the whole society. Since both iii and iv are incorrect, the options 'only (iv) is incorrect' and '(i), (ii) and (iii) are incorrect' are wrong, as is the one accepting iii.
