Polity \Pol"i*ty\, n.; pl. Polities. [L. politia, Gr. ?: cf.
F. politie. See 1st Policy, Police.]
1. The form or constitution of the civil government of a
nation or state; the framework or organization by which
the various departments of government are combined into a
systematic whole. --Blackstone. Hooker.
[1913 Webster]
2. Hence: The form or constitution by which any institution
is organized; the recognized principles which lie at the
foundation of any human institution.
[1913 Webster]
Nor is possible that any form of polity, much less
polity ecclesiastical, should be good, unless God
himself be author of it. --Hooker.
[1913 Webster]
3. Policy; art; management. [Obs.] --B. Jonson.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Policy.
Usage: Polity, Policy. These two words were originally
the same. Polity is now confined to the structure of a
government; as, civil or ecclesiastical polity; while
policy is applied to the scheme of management of
public affairs with reference to some aim or result;
as, foreign or domestic policy. Policy has the further
sense of skillful or cunning management.
[1913 Webster]
