👉 In political science, a conventionism is an idea or practice that involves adhering to certain rules, norms, and conventions established by a particular group or organization. These conventions can include specific laws, regulations, policies, or practices that are widely accepted and expected of all members of the group. They are often used as a way to maintain social order within a community or political system, but they can also be seen as a form of political manipulation or control by those who believe in them.
