Both the tribal constitution and the United States constitution are adopted similarly in terms of style, format,and purpose. Both the tribes and the federal government's allow the separation of power (three branches of government). Both governments have an elected governor, chief, chair, and/or president. Both share similar concepts of a group who holds the legislative powers (for example: Councils and Congress). Both possess a court system to handle disputes between the citizens/people. Both sides have their own laws and government (for example: the power to tax). Both sides respect each other’s authority and work together in regards to passing laws and governing oneself (possible treaties involving both the federal and tribal government).
Finally, large and small state both treated equally so no tyranny can happen between small states and large. The legislative branch is divided into house of representative and senate.

Constitutions have been around for many years. The first ones on record go back as far as the fifteenth century.

The Division of government for America is divided up into the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative Branches.

Joseph Hamilton writes, “In Southern California, where my tribe calls home, disenrollment is common, in part because of big gaming revenues and internal power struggles. It is also a symptom of the breakdown of traditional tribal power structures. Simply put, some tribal leaders listen to lawyers instead of elders” (n.d.). The smaller amount of tribal members present constitutes more money for the remaining members (Stretten, 2014).
Throughout Indian Country tribes have their own courts to address legal matters. However, the Navajo Nation has a court system that stands apart from other tribes. Howard L. Brown Esq. wrote, “The Navajo Nation’s Peacemaker Division: An Integrated Community-Based Dispute Resolution Forum” which was published in the American Indian Law Review 1999-2000 issue and was reprinted in the May/July 2002 issue of Dispute Resolution Journal. As a former judicial law clerk for the Supreme Court of the Navajo Nation, Brown gained firsthand experience with the Peacemaker Division within the Navajo Nation’s Judicial Branch. He details the history, development and ceremonies associated with this resolution forum. Two

The similarity in government Greece and China share are the way they rule over their civilians. China has dynasties which mean one person out of a family is in control of the civilization. And one of Greece’s forms of government is a monarchy, which is ruled by one king. Since China used dynasties to elect their rulers it was not very fair to the civilians because after a family member died another one stepped up or another dynasty was created. It also was not very fair for the monarchies in Greece because the rulers and the people in the city-state would not always get along.
The federal government and state governments have had a long history of powers struggles. The struggle goes back and forth between who has the right to make decisions and if there is a problem who should fix it. Sometimes it is better for the federal government to fix issues and during other situations it is better for the state or local governments to fix other issues. In the PBS special of the United States Constitution, Peter Sagal travels around the states documenting the various roles and impact the government has on the country as a whole and on the individual states.
