Political Allegiance

Political allegiance refers to the loyalty and commitment an individual feels toward a political entity, such as a nation or government. It involves supporting the values, laws, and institutions of that entity, often leading to a sense of duty to obey its rules and contribute to its well-being. This concept is closely linked to political obligation, which explores the reasons individuals feel morally compelled to follow laws or participate in civic duties. Factors influencing political allegiance may include shared identity, culture, and historical experiences, shaping how people relate to and engage with their political community.
