Politics
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Politics was the system by which a being, or body, governed. Each planet had its own political system, most of which involve a House of Representitives to represent the planet's system. Each political system has its own constitution and law system, however it had to comply with the Galactic Constitution, unless it was brought to the attention of the Galactic Senate, where they could decide, usually by process of a vote, whether it was fit.
Most planets had either a King/Queen, such as on Naboo, or a President, or Chancellor, though the Chancellor of a planet's political system was still inferior to the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic. A King or Queen, President or Chancellor could either be chosen by election, or by way of inheritance. There was an equal number of planetary political systems run by inheritance as there is by election. Almost all planetary Representatives were chosen by election. Naboo was a planet with a well known Political System.

[edit] Behind the scenes
When Revenge of the Sith was released, George Lucas was criticised for using the film to promote a liberal agenda, but has responded that the prequel trilogy was originally conceived in the 1970s and influenced as much by Richard Nixon as George W. Bush.
