Informal institutions Norms Normative pillar
Culture Cognitive pillar
Ethics
Regulatory pillar: The coercive power of governments specifies the do’s and don’ts.

2 primary political systems:
- Democracy: A political system in which citizens elect representatives to govern the
country on their behalf

political control over the population
