Watts

Definition

In the context of political science, especially within discussions on executive power and governance structures in democracies, "Watts" does not directly apply as it is a unit of measurement for electrical power. However, if we metaphorically relate it to political power, it can represent the rate at which political energy or influence is exercised within a governmental system.
