政

Right 攵 - a hand holding a stick to compel action, the rap radical. Indexes 政 in the active-administration family (改 to reform, 教 to instruct, 敕 imperial edict). Together with 正 the picture is: enforcing correctness with the rod of authority - the original meaning of 政 government.

Left 正 - a foot stopping at a marked line, meaning correctness and proper alignment. Supplies the sound zhèng directly with no shift and pulls in the meaning: governing is the business of keeping things upright and orderly. Same phonetic in 整 to arrange, 征 to levy - all carrying the rightness flavour.
