Positive political theory

Positive Political Theory is a branch of political science that deals with how people in societies make decisions about public issues like taxes, government policies, and laws. It usually involves using math and statistics to help understand and predict how people in a society will act in certain situations. Positive Political Theory can be used to try to find ways to improve the lives of people in a society. For example, it might be used to figure out the best way to use taxes to reduce poverty or to help create policies that can make sure people in a society have access to basic needs such as healthcare, food, and housing.
