throughout each branch of government. The branches of government include the executive, the legislative, and the courts. We also go into how these positions are elected, as well as the parties in which they are elected from. They all work together to create a sound government that will work in the best possible way. The executive branch includes the head of government/head of state and their cabinet. As the leader of the state, the executive is considered the “top-tier of government.” Their job is to be
the Australian head of state, Queen Elizabeth II. Between them they have important formal powers. Some of these powers include the power to: h approve legislation passed by the two Houses of Parliament; h command the navel and military forces; h Exercise the general 'executive' power of the Commonwealth.

offices, therefore it breaks the executive branch of government up and it prevents power over the executive branch from concentrating in any one specific office. Under the plural executive system, some people believe you get a constitutional check and balance that protects any one of the branches of having too much power. This way of doing business through checks and balances, is called a separation of powers. A plural executive type of government is also known as a multilevel executive, a governmental
powers origins from French revolution. The concept was formulated by Montesquieu, French enlightment political philosopher. Under this model, the state power was divided between 3 different branches, where executive power is wested by President and government, legislative power is exercised in Parliament and judicial power is given to courts. They have independent powers and areas of responsibility, so that the powers of one branch doesn't conflict the others'. The model is often used simultaneously
1. Discuss the fundamental differences between weak mayor, strong mayor, and council-manager forms of government. There are few differences between the types of city governments including the council-manager form, strong mayor, and weak mayor. Council manager is the most popular from of the government in Texas today. Council manager in brief does a lot of the administrator work.

Since Canada is a multicultural country, the government must represent this multiculturalism. The ideal job of the Cabinet in Canada is to take responsibility for the actions of the government. It is their job to defend and support each other as well as have the ability to maintain good care of the country. The Cabinet must also remain behind closed doors and their documents
Australia Australia is the only country that is also a continent. In area, Australia ranks as the sixth largest country and smallest continent.

characteristics to a presidential system. The first main part of a presidential system is how the executive is elected. The executive is a president who is elected to a fixed term. Also a president is not only head of state, but is head of government. The president is the sole executive of the government. Even though there is a cabinet in a presidential system it does not have the power it does in a parliamentary system. The cabinet is chosen by the president instead of chosen by the parliament. A president

Most laws are written by government departments and introduced into the parliament by government ministers. In most parliamentary systems, the function of law making in parliament entails, among others, the following: Establish parliamentary committees on specific subjects (e.g. on health, education, budget, Corruption
forms of government, and debate on which political system is more successful in governance. In this paper, I will first provide a detailed analysis of both the parliamentary and the presidential system. I will also evaluate each system’s strengths and weaknesses, addressing any differences as well as any commonalities. Finally, I will conclude by using historical examples to analyze and support the presidential system, which would be a more desirable system for a democratic government. The concept
will examine the experience someone gains while administering a state government, and how it will help them prepare for the requirements of presidency. Lastly, I will present the differences between running a state government and the responsibilities of the president. The role of the governor and the president are similar in that they both have cabinets, which are made up of the heads of executive departments of the government, that advise them. The president and governors are both elected in
The prime minister is undoubtedly the central figure in Canadian government and politics. At the top of the hierarchy within the system of parliamentary government, he or she is often called the ‘first among equals’, having the understood role of a leader who works side by side with the rest of government in accomplishing the matters of Parliament. However in truth, there are no true equals to the prime minister, and government does not always work as the ideal team as it is made out to be. In terms
Pacific Railway) was in production. In Canada, mainly British Columbia (B.C), the government was having economic issues and they relied on Chinese immigrants to build the CPR because it was “cheaper” than hiring white workers to build the railroad. The Chinese were not the only ones affected; the Indigenous were also being affected by getting kicked out of their homes as the land was needed for the railroad. The government took advantage of the Chinese and Indigenous peoples. The CPR added many benefits
The United States has three branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Each of these branches has a distinct and essential role in the function of the government, and they were established in Articles 1 (legislative), 2 (executive) and 3 (judicial) of the U.S. Constitution. To ensure a separation of powers, the U.S. Federal Government is made up of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. To ensure the government is effective and citizens’ rights are protected
bigger than many people realise. The queen is our 'Head of State' that basically means her work is largely ceremonial. She appoints the Prime Minister, dissolves parliament at the end of a term, and grants bills that have been passed through parliament 'Royal assent' so that they become law/acts of parliament. Many people may consider this little more than a 'rubber stamp', however some people see her as a safeguard against the government. Although nowadays the queen is thought to have little
choices in the different levels of government on their behalf, this kind of democracy is called a representative democracy(1). Canada has many qualities of a well-functioning democracy, such as independent courts, open and free elections, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, access to education and healthcare, but there are still aspects of Canada’s democracy that need to be improved and changed. Overall, Canada is not a well functioning democracy because the government is not truly representative;
Branches of Government The founding fathers of whom were the framers of the Constitution, wanted to create a government that did not allow one person to have too much control. They wrote the Constitution to provide for a separation of powers that would be separated into three different branches of government. Each branch would have its own responsibility, but to ensure that the government was effective and citizens rights were protected, each branch would work together with the other branches.
something you really need to know. If you believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed him then you are taking part in probably the biggest government conspiracy known to man. This massive cover-up will last for years and probably violate every single law known to man. Well, when the people started to get suspicious about the mystery involving the murder, the government dispatched the Warren Commission to investigate and silence all doubts concerning the mystery around the murder of President Kennedy
Introduction: Throughout history there has been progression on how the government has been organized and, alternatively, its position, and role in the public sphere. Two dominant, different government systems have emerged in North American politics, the presidential and parliamentary systems, in America and Canada respectively. These neighbouring systems have components, which are different but also share some commonalities; these key characteristics propose several strengths and weaknesses among
