Moralistic  ; Traditionalistic

Explanation:

The basic difference between these political culture lies in the way they view the government.

- Traditionalist political culture views the government as the strongest/highest authority to maintain social order.

This means that in their society, government is expected to create specific social norms and force the citizens to obey it by any means necessary (This type of implementation could be seen in Medieval Period where countries were led by kings or emperors)

- Moralistic political culture on the other, view the government only as a means to promote and protect the general welfare of the people.

This means that the society view the government as their civil servant. They exist to protect the personal liberty of the citizens in their territory, hence giving the citizens with the most power to influence the government (modern democracy operate on a same idea)
