Political systems regulate civil society through frameworks that either encourage or restrict participation and advocacy. Laws governing nonprofits, free speech, and assembly shape how civil societies interact with governments. Strong protections for civil society enable grassroots movements and organizations to operate effectively, promoting democratic engagement and accountability. Conversely, restrictive measures can stifle dissent and diminish civic space, hampering the effectiveness of civil organizations. Balancing regulation with freedom is critical for empowering civil society to fulfill its role in promoting social justice and holding power accountable.
