Provide an example of a political institution in California.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. As defined in the book, institutions are "organizations built to manage conflict by defining particular roles and rules for those who participate in them. They bring people together to solve problems on behalf of society, enabling the official use of power and authority." Therefore, an institution includes virtually any local, county, or state office, agency, department, or governmental branch; it could also be a formal process, group, or organization that has been established by the state and exists to solve conflicts for society. Examples: the Republican Party, the Democratic Party (and any named political party, or political parties generally), elections, the legislature (including the Assembly or the state Senate), the governor's office, the executive branch, the courts, traffic court (superior court), the Supreme Court of CA, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and so on.
