PLC1501 ASSIGNMENT 2 Semester 1 2026 Question 1 “Various theories have been developed to explain the origin of politics and why the individual finds him/herself in a political environment” (Study guide 2002:3132). In light of the above, discuss rationalistic theory as an explanation for the origin of politics. According to the rationalistic theory, politics is not a divine mandate or a natural occurrence but a deliberate product of human reason. As your study guide notes, this theory posits that "human beings consciously institute the authorities, because it is in their interests to do so" (Study Unit 2, 2002:36–37). The primary mechanism through which this is understood to happen is the social contract.
