polity

At some point, the massive power imbalance baked into the entire Western liberal-democratic polity, which drives so many people who feel voiceless and disenfranchised into consumerist apathy, fascist fantasy or both, will require radical readjustment.

"I think taking into account the circumstances and the compulsions of a coalition polity, I have done as best as I could do under the circumstances."

They would be better served to read the polity as Black/not-Black and look for regional and economic differences between racial and ethnic groups.

It is a nation, a polity recast in his time and split pretty much down the middle on its constitutional future.

The Reconstruction amendments were seeking to address the status of newly freed formerly enslaved Black people and actually incorporate them into the polity and create an egalitarian society.
