Political power is the ability to influence what happens in a country or state. It can be held by one person or a group of people who are in charge of making decisions for everyone. There are two types of political power: sovereign power, which is absolute and not controlled by anyone else, and subordinate power, which is subject to some external control. Sovereign power is like being the boss of everything, while subordinate power is like being a boss of a smaller part of something.
