Explanation

Political theory is a systematic study that deals with the ideas and principles that shape Constitutions, governments, and social life [2]. It clarifies the meaning of fundamental concepts such as freedom, equality, and justice by examining the arguments of various political thinkers and their relevance to contemporary institutions [2]. Furthermore, political theory probes the significance of structural principles like the rule of law, separation of powers, and judicial review. It does this by analyzing the underlying values that inform political life and reflecting on current political experiences to point out future possibilities. By providing normative standards and benchmarks, political theory helps evaluate the fairness of public policies and the extent to which democratic values are realized in everyday life [2]. Therefore, all three statements accurately describe the scope and function of political theory.
