Political scholars like Bodin, Hobbes, Montesque, Brice, Laski, Fines, Bluntschli, etc. consider Political Science as a science. Famous thinker Aristotle has called it the supreme science. The main argument of the scholars who considier Political Science as a science is that Political Science is basically a social science and it has all the features of being a science. It is wrong to compare it with natural sciences.

- Observation and experiments are possible.
- Scientific methods are used.
- Presence of universally acceptable concepts.
- Systematic and organised study.
- Possible to establish cause-effect relationship.
- Predictions are possible.
