You want to have strength in math to handle the quantitative methods used in political science (consider analysis of polls and elections, and statistical analysis in social sciences in general). You also want practice in thinking logically, since the LSAT and law will require logical thinking.

In terms of admission to highly selective colleges, stopping math voluntarily after completing precalculus in 11th grade may be seen as a negative point by an admission reader considering your academic strength.
