Constitution type

Thus far, the details of the main institutions of France and Germany have been outlined. The issue is now to compare these and highlight the weaknesses and strengths of each country against the other as regards such institutions. As regards electoral systems, Frances majoritarian two-round system is a more simple method, delivering the greater amount of seats to the main parties of the left and right over smaller parties. Although harming representation, this helps in the creation of stable governments

Even though laws are universal, they should be applied to particular cases with unique conditions. To conduct this, the law is interpreted by the judge, who determine its meaning and at times the intention of people who wrote it. Among the major types of judicial

The political apparatus has evolved in the knowledge that flexibility brings both strength and weakness. The importance of a clear separation of powers, respect to the rule of law and the observation of long established conventions is pivotal to maintaining constitutional balance within the UK. These lines that separate are much more blurred than that of other mature democracies. Walter Bagehot famously called this the ‘efficient secret’ to the strong UK Government. This view had more prevalence

legislation such as The Human Rights Act (HRA), a wider judicial interpretation has become more accepted as the UK constitution is taking a more contemporary shape in parallel to our changing environment. The Contemporary UK constitution is now less rigid than that traditionally known, it is beginning to move away from the belief that Parliamentary Sovereignty is the cornerstone of our constitution and becoming more accepting of change. The HRA 1998 has been heavily involved in the gradual change towards

prerogative, pragmatically wielded solely by the Prime Minister, into a power for the legislature as a whole. It is a rebalancing of power within the British Constitution. When talking about this power Leyland said ‘the Royal Prerogative to dissolve Parliament on the advice of the Prime Minister was regarded as a core feature of the constitution’,10 from this then, we can surmise that the loss of this power is constitutionally significant. It also represents something

Differences between Monarchy and Democracy 1. Democracy is a type of government that emanates from the constituted powers that are elected, depending on the system (presidentialist, parliamentary, constitutional monarchy, semi presidentialist, semi parliamentary, etc...) directly or indirectly by the people. Whereas in an absolute monarchy, an absolutist regime exists and is in power because of family lineage. 2. In democracy three state powers(in most cases) exist as a checks and balances

There are many debates concerning which branch of government is more powerful. I honestly thought the executive branch was the least powerful of all three, but James Wilson lists a lot of reasons to think otherwise. The argument that the President and the Executive branch is the most powerful is still up in the air, but there are three strong reasons why the President and Executive branch is the most powerful at the moment. The president and the vice president are the only officials elected

comparison between their structure and functions. Firstly, the political regimes in the USA and the UK are partly the same, however in terms of types of governments and constitution these countries are really different. The first main similarity is that the political regimes in both countries are democracies. Then, both countries have their own constitutions, which are quite old but still actual as the highest legal documents. Moving to the differences, it should be mentioned that while the UK is a

Balance of Power, a type of post war order, could happen when weaker states form alliances with each other in order to counterbalance the leading state. This would prevent the leading state from having all the power, and would prevent tyranny of the leading state. This form

Running their businesses alone we assume that the relative entities are a business or sole proprietorship. By acting separately, both Sarah and Jane receive all profits separately; they are both free to make their own decisions concerning the running of their businesses and only pay personal income taxes on profits. The main disadvantage of this is that the owner alone is responsible for all liabilities brought on by the business for which creditors can liquidate personal assets. In other words
