Everything about Polity totally explained
Polity (
Greek: Πολιτεία or Πολίτευμα transliterated as
Politeía or
Políteuma) was originally a term used in
Ancient Greece to refer to the many Greek
city states that had an assembly of citizens as part of the political process.
Suffrage didn't include women, slaves, serfs, or resident aliens. Thus, voting citizens usually included only a minority of the adult males.
Today it's usually a general term that refers to the political organization of a group. It is often used to describe a loosely organized society such as a
tribe or
community, but can mean any political group including a
government or
empire,
corporation or
academy. It is also used in the phrase
ecclesiastical polity as a synonym of
church government.
