Malaysian Studies Revision Note

The Executive Branch is run by the President who is commander and chief of the Military. It "carries out federal laws." (World Book 140). It will create regulations that back up the laws that Congress passes. The branch acts as the enforcer of the Government. The executive branch is separated into fourteen departments, each handling a specific Executive business. The head of each department is appointed by the President and approved by the senate. The collection of these departments makes up the Presidential Cabinet. The purpose of the cabinet and its members is as stated,

There are three important powers that work as instruments for organisation of any state and are carried by Governments. This can be stated, "There are three elements in each constitution… first, the deliberative, which discusses everything of common importance; second the officials; and third, the judicial element." said Aristotle , the founder of theory of the doctrine. Contemporary those powers are called as the legislature, the executive and the judiciary.

The executive branch controls the National Guard , which act as the states’ military designed to protect their borders against all foreign and domestic enemies. Then there is the legislative branch that is comprised of representatives elected by the people of the state. This branch controls the state’s articles of impeachment, budget, initiates the tax legislations, and creates legislative laws to fix issues brought forth by the governor and/or the people. All the states, with the exception of Nebraska have a legislative branch comprised of a bicameral legislature with two chambers. These two chambers are the smaller upper house (Senate) and the larger lower house (House of Representatives), with the responsibilities of constructing state laws and fulfilling other state responsibilities such as the state budget. (State & Local Government)

Lastly we move to federal government this is one in which the powers of government is divided between a central government and several local governments. There is a authority superior to both the central and local governments which makes this division of powers on a geographic basis; That division cannot be changed by either the local or national level acting alone. Both levels of government act directly on the people through their own sets of laws, the officials, and agencies. In the United States, for example the National Government has certain powers and the 50 states have others. This division of powers is set out in the Constitution of the United States.

When forming the three branches, James Madison knew they each had to be separated, but have equal power, thus giving different jobs to each and solving the issue of one possibly gaining too much power(Document B). The job given to the legislative branch is to illustrate, or make, laws and consists of the Senate and House of Representatives(Ibid). The executive branch now enforces those laws and the power is in the hands of the President(Ibid). The judicial branch is powered by the Supreme Court and has the job of forming courts and making sure laws are dealt with correctly(Ibid). This separation of powers guards against tyranny by balancing power so one branch is not higher than

Australians have contributed in defense of the country and for allied countries in World War 2, displaying the significance of the fall of Singapore and Kokoda. The fall of Kokoda and Singapore were all related to a series of attacks from the Japanese and were counteracted by various campaigns Australia has formed. The intentions of the Japanese from both battles were distinctive, as throughout the second world war Japan was allied with Germany, who fought against Australia’s allied forces. From Kokoda and Singapore, the position of which alliances take part in are illustrated and the contributions to the various campaigns that are proposed. Thus, the role Australia plays can be distinguished and able to indicate the significance between both

James Madison said,”... Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.” (Document B) This is saying that the three branches are separate and have their own jobs, proving that one group of people does not do everything, so one group cannot

In 1787 our founding father met in Philadelphia to talk about the situation that was happening in our society, therefore the Articles of Confederations were not working. How did the founding fathers set about ensuring that one one or group can control all the States? So after a long discussion, they made a decision to throw out the The Article of Confederation and make a new and improved Constitution. The Constitution consist of Federalism, Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances and Large States vs. Small States. The Constitutional guard against tyrannies first way, is Federalism.

Furthermore, a government with separation of powers can be divided into three groups the legislative, executive and the judicial branch. Each branch has a different role in the government. One makes the laws,

Federal Executive Branch: This branch of government carries out and enforces laws. It includes the president, vice president, the Cabinet, executive departments, independent agencies, such as CIA, FBI, EPA and the Postal Service, and other boards, commissions, and committees. The federal executive power is vested to P.O.T.U.S., centralizing the executive authority to a single office holder. The power to appoint justices that serve for life is a way for the current president to influence future laws that lean towards his or her demographics. One example: The new Trump administration could attempt to

In February 1942 Darwin was bombed by Japanese aircrafts and in May three Japanese submarines penetrated Sydney harbor . The Japanese found that to be able to invade Australia effectively they would have to capture Port Moresby the main Australian base in New Guinea. This location was significant as it could be used as an aircraft base that they needed to protect the Japanese fleet. The Japanese sent a force of 7,000 which captured Gona which was a base on the other side of New Guinea and then 3 weeks later where joined by the main Japanese force of over 10,000 soldiers . To reach Port Moresby the Japanese would have to walk along the Kokoda trail which lead over the Owen Mountains.

Furthermore, the Legislative makes the laws. Executive, enforces the laws. And Judicial, judges the laws. This way, each of these branches can check each other. Federalist paper #47 states, “Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.¨ This is saying that without the power being divided between the three branches of government, there would be
