Superior Politcial Philosophy

       In the world we live in there are many political theories/ philosophies for different parts of the world. The purpose for a political theory is "the study of the concepts and principles that people use to describe, explain, and evaluate political events and institutions." However, there is a superior political philosophy/ theory which is the Ethos but is known as The Enlightenment Theory.  The Enlightenment theory is the superior political philosophy because of how it focuses on an individual's morals or values.
      The purpose of the Enlightenment theory was to have it be on a person's principles. For instance it includes natural born rights which is based on philosopher John Locke, "everyone is born with an equality of certain rights..."no matter what race a person is. In other words, women and men are to always be secure of "unalienable rights". In Addition, there must be separation between the powers, Executive, Legislative, Judiciary so that there is no powers that overpowers the other powers.   The Enlightenment Theory is superior because of how many people believe that they should have access to some sort of rights.
       In conclusion, the world that exists in modern days have various believes. There are some philosophies that occur now a days because to shows a lot of organizing and structure in politics. The Ethos/Enlightenment Theory is an example of philosophies that are superior than the others.
