I'd like to add the origins of political structures and speak about their affects on the places and people they've been put in place for. I plan to give examples of the different political structures in place in several countries and tell why they are in place and why they seem to work for them. I want to add information about the "political" aspect of political structures as well. For example, I can speak about how politics plays a role in the structure of government in the United States and definitely other countries as well. Also, I want to add information about how those in power get that power and the role the average citizen plays in them getting that power. There's also a book I'd like to refer to called "The Red Flag: History of Communism" by David Priestland. This will just be used, obviously, for information necessary to speak about the history of Communism and I'll use other similar sources to speak about the history's of other political structures as well. This is just a start and just one book that I found so far and that I think will be useful in helping me develop the "historical" aspect of the Political Structures Wikipedia Page.
Sources I plan to use are the British Encyclopedia, the "Political System" Wiki page (and use a few of the sources cited on that page as well), and Cliffs Notes. Cliffs Note is, in fact, a credible source edited by teachers and professors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcauley5 (talk • contribs) 20:48, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
