CLEP US Government

Answer: A- One’s ideology is defined as an individual’s consistent set of values and beliefs about the proper role of government, and it affects the way one looks at government. You can think of it as the lens through which one sees what ought to happen in government. The reason two politicians can look at the same set of facts and come to different conclusions about what should be done is due to ideology. They have different views about what the proper role of government should be, and therefore have different ideas about how to handle specific situations.
