Political society is a sphere of the political activity of individuals, interest groups and institutions that aim to help vote/decide upon laws and other important issues in the local and national government. Political systems with parties and electoral procedures are the most patent elements of political society. The state, with its apparatus, such as a government and a public administration, is an inherent part of political society as its tool and most active part. A first developed analysis of the functioning of the modern political society was presented by Alexis de Tocqueville in his book Democracy in America. For Tocqueville political society consisted of all the relations between citizens and government both central and local. Following Tocqueville Karl Marx identified political society with political superstructure while civil society with economic base. Nowadays modern idea of political society was suppressed by post-modern discourse on civil society.<ref name="zaleski" /> See Also
