ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Political theory

Political theory is like a game where people try to figure out the best way to make decisions for everyone in society. In this game, people make rules and laws that decide how the government should work and how people should treat each other. People also try to figure out the best way to share resources among everyone in society so that everyone can have the things they need. People playing this game also make sure everyone has equal rights so that everyone is treated fairly. People come up with different ideas and theories about how the government and society should work, and then they try to find ways to make their idea a reality.
