1. The state speaks in law. Every political decision aspires to become a statute, decree or judgment — law is politics made binding. Political Science asks who decides and why; law asks what was decided and what it means.
2. Constitutional law is applied political science. The provisions you memorised in Legal Method Unit 4 (Arts. 74–76 on government formation; Art. 100 on no-confidence; Arts. 84–86 on the two Houses) are political theory frozen into text — separation of powers, parliamentary government, representation.
3. The traditional division: Political Science studies the state (the organised whole); Law studies rights and duties (the state's commands to persons). Modernly the two interpenetrate: public law is political; law reform is policy; courts make public policy (judicial review, PIL).
4. Concrete Nepali illustration: the House of Representatives dissolution cases (2020–
21) — twice the Supreme Court quashed the Prime Minister's recommendation to dissolve the
House (interpreting Arts. 76 and 85). Pure legal reasoning? No — the Court was refereeing the deepest political questions of government formation, using legal method. That intersection is precisely where a B.A.LL.B. graduate lives.
5. Mutual dependence: without political science, law is blind to power; without law, political science cannot say when force becomes authority. "Political science without law is a headlessbody; law without political science is a body without a head."
