What Is the Difference between Government and Politics? AP Gov Bit by Bit #2

The concepts of government and politics often get confused and intertwined, and it's good to know the difference between the two. In this video, I explain what the government is and how politics is used to determine what government does and doesn't do. Enjoy!

I feel like some discussion is needed to provide context your talking about the reason WHY we have government. Such as when you say (I’m paraphrasing) that large groups of people are unable to govern themselves, there needs to be some more commentary on the different views of why govt. exists. For example, a discussion over natural rights and the view that its the government’s primary job to PROTECT those rights. Just saying that large groups of ppl cannot govern themselves is too vague.
