ABSTRACT
The word political commonly occurs in four different associations: political force, political problems, political conflict, and political organization. The political adjudicator is neither indifferent to nor independent from the parties, when the are political forces: indeed, the are capable of changing the judge himself and the law itself. A political enterprise, once launched, may peter out or prosper. If the latter, it competes with others for followers and clashes with others by reason of contradictory goals. The best analysis of political enterprise is Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, where Cassius is the entrepreneur. Political enterprise is of major importance in political history. A political enterprise may run in lawful grooves, and again it may not. Political entrepreneurs are as important dramatis personae of the social scene as economic entrepreneurs: the former need not fire the imagination of the scholar any more than the latter. A political enterprise need not be addressed to the capture of political offices.
