Abstract	This article presents a memorable method to introduce new students to the concept of political needs. Using an adaptation of Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" to one of "Hierarchy of Political Needs" the instructor presents how needs for "physiological survival," safety, belonging, "recognition," and "democratic participation" have shaped political motivations as well as state and partisan responses. The article discusses Maslow's original arguments and the criticisms that have been leveled against them. It also shows how the original hierarchy has been adapted by scholars since the 1950s. It then demonstrates how a theoretical framework on political needs can be created and shows how the concerns about the Maslow Hierarchy can be used to trigger student discussion. The article finally presents how the concepts are presented through lectures, self-reflection activities, and discussion. (As Provided).
