Presidential form of government

depends on what the relationship is between the executive structure and legislative system. Under a presidential system the executive and legislative branches are separated so that it is easier to distribute power equally and ensure that those in power are held accountable. Although they don’t hold “checks and balances”, under a parliamentary system, the government can be more effective when they do not separate the executive and legislative branches. This allows the government to accomplish more because they can pass more legislations faster. It is more difficult to pass policies under a presidential system because, unlike in parliamentary systems, they are unable to produce comprehensive proposals in a promptly manner. Still, problems can arise in parliamentary systems. For example, there may be “immobilism” in parliamentary systems, similar to the deadlocks in presidential systems, which could cause a delay in the process of making legislations. It is also more difficult to fix problems between the legislative and executive branches in a presidential system because each side will continue to fight over the power to pass laws and adjust it in the way they want. If the legislative branches are weakened, there is more probability of presidentialism failing than parliamentarism. Therefore, implementing a parliamentary executive structure could be an effective

The legislative branch, Congress, has the power to make laws valid for the whole country. Powers like the regulation of taxes, regulation of commerce between the states and with foreign countries, the power to declare war, and the power to impeach the President are some of the issues the legislative branch has to deal with. Congress has two chambers (or "houses"): the Senate and the House of Representatives ("the house").

On April 19, 1775, the citizens of the british colonies of america started a revolution against Great Britain by signing the Declaration of Independence. The decision to do so was supported by what the american people felt was a severe lack of freedom from the British government. the beginning of the American Revolution, the british colonies in America were very harsh on their citizens in terms of freedom. Citizens of these colonies were not allowed to verbally disparage the government and were forced to share religious beliefs with the Church of England. In rebellion, the american people took a stand against Great Britain, and declared themselves as the United States of America.

Colonies  -  The 13 colonies of British North America included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. A representative from each colony was sent to the Second Continental Congress in May of 1775 to debate the topic of independence. Although initial disagreement seemed to stall the drive towards independence, by July 2nd, 1776 all 13 colonies committed to fighting in the war for independence.

The Continental Congress were trying to make a decision, and that decision was if they should become independent or not. Most of the delegates did not want to be independent though. Even so, in May 1776, Congress adopted a resolution authorizing each of the 13 colonies to establish its own government.

The American colonies had been under the rule of their mother country, Britain, for many years. During this time, they were burdened with excessive taxation, unlawful soldiers, and little to no representation in parliament. The colonist had had enough, so they decided to revolt against the king through a document entitled The Declaration of Independence. In these pages, they stated that all men were created equal and were given inalienable rights at birth. Then the colonists began to address all the wrongdoings of King George III, which they described as establishing “an absolute Tyranny over these States”. In 1776, America was liberated from England’s rule, while all of Europe

On 1783, the thirteen colonies defeated the Great Britain at the Revolutionary War, however, the United States government was not founded officially until the United States Constitution came into force on 1789. Although the thirteen colonies had established the Articles of Confederation in 1777 to fight against the Great Britain, the Articles of Confederation was too weak and it became a concern after the Revolutionary War. On May 25th, 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held in Philadelphia, with twelve delegates from all colonies except Rhode Island, to revise the Articles of Confederation. However, a new constitution was created and replaced the Articles of Confederation. In order to create the new constitution, all states had to give

By the time the Constitution was put into place, America had a very well understanding and expertise in self-government. Long before independence was declared, the colonies were already functioning as governmental groups that were controlled by the people. After the Revolution had begun between January 1, 1776, and April 20, 1777, most of the thirteen states had their own constitutions already in place. Majority of the states had a governor elected by the state. The legislature itself was elected by popular vote. Every state but Pennsylvania had a bicameral legislature.

On July 4, 1776 the American colonies finally broke free from British tyranny; Five years later on March 1, 1781 the first ever constitution (also known as the articles of confederation) of the new nation was ratified by the continental congress (The articles of confederation was adopted on November 15, 1777 but the ratification of the Articles by all thirteen states was by march 1, 1781) which helped shape the government. Many people were afraid of another monarch rising to power to guarantee their freedom they created a government in which states were independent obtaining most of the power while the central government was smaller with no national Executive powers (no president or judiciary), this was openly stated in Article II of the articles

Every country differs in their preference of political system to govern their countries. For democratic countries, two possible choices of governing are the presidential system and the parliamentary system. Since both the presidential and the parliamentary systems have their own strengths and weaknesses, many scholars have examined these two 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

After many lengthy years. The British signed a peace treaties with France and Spain. This is what brought the American Revolution to a close. As a result thirteen colonies won independence from the British becoming the United States. The colonies were able to the fullest degree to support the democratic politics in the colonies. The state constitutions included individuals of the colonies views such as having fairness amidst the individuals and a hositialible attitude toward wrongdoing. A government that consist of a democratic was formed. It provided a guide for many other colonies. Those colonies realized that they could include a self-governing nation also.

Key difference between presidents and prime ministers is the relationship between the branches of government (Heffernan, 2005:54) – is there a distinct separate executive branch from the legislature

The monarch is a figure head and does no decision making. The voters of a parliamentary system elect parliament who then elect the prime minister and the cabinet. The prime minister is normally the leader of the most popular party in parliament. The PM even being the head of government is not as powerful as the head of government in a presidential system. The parliament of the system withholds the most power. They make or break any law. Compared to the separation of powers as in a presidential system there is only a separation of functions. Each part of government has its own function to perform, but there is no system of checks and balances. An example of the overlapping of powers is the need of a vote of confidence. A vote of confidence is proposed by a party and needs backing from the other part of government. With no system of sorts there is more likely of upheaval and change of rule. There is not as much stability in a parliamentary system as there is in a presidential. Lastly there is no judicial rule as there is in a presidential system. A parliamentary system has had success in the past but still is seen as not as successful as a presidential system.

office by the legislature but the way of it is different. Dissimilar feature is the election of

The prime minister can determine the ministers in each ministry (Johnson, 2004). The head of government has certain degree of authority and freedom to delegate to its ministers, and it can lead the government to more stable political situation because fusion of power between the ministries and prime minister is achieved. Prime ministers can also nominate members of the cabinet but their functions are not just limited to advisory and consultative. The members must decide collectively broad matters of policy, involving foreign affairs, finance, and other issues of concern to the entire government (Hitchner, 1970). The collective body of cabinets reduces the role of prime minister and his executive power.
