Canada, unlike the United States, has a parliament. Just like Congress in the United States, Parliament is divided into two bodies the Senate and the House of Commons. Where parliament starts deviating from Congress is that only the officials in the House of Commons are publicly elected. This is Canada’s version of the House of Representatives. They hold office for five years or until parliament is dissolved, unlike the house of representatives which are elected every two years.…
“The federal government is the balance of the federal system means using counterweights” Pierre Trudeau. For this essay I agree that the federal political system effectively governs all Canadians. The Magna carta was a charter made by the King John for a solution towards his political crisis.

Dual Federalism: According to American Government textbook dual federalism is “the states and national government exercise exclusive authority in distinctly delineated spheres of jurisdiction” (82).

In 1788 the Federalist Papers were mostly written by Madison. The ideas shared in the Federalist Papers were relevant when Madison was alive, however, the problem is: are they still relevant and effective today. First governmental structure in USA is unique, no other government has the same system as this country. It is the only country that changed everything dealing with politics back in that decade, which shows how much the founding fathers were aware of the political issues. News in those days were spread quicker as they occurred but unfortunately most of it are not true or even reliable.…
The Balancing Act: A look into America’s Political Structure The United States is built on the concept of federalism. Federalism is “the division of power between a central government and regional governments” (Janda 69). Federalism creates a limited government by creating a strong federal government but also granting power to the states. By allocating powers between the states and federal government, federalism prevents either of them from becoming too powerful.…
The Federal government and the Parliament government are the 2 levels of power in the Parliament of Canada. First of all, the Queen may need advice or approval from the House of Commons and Senate, but it is absolutely legal for her to make any laws that will benefit the government of Canada. Provincial Legislatures has power as well and they are very important for Canada’s Constitution. In each province, the council, can make distinct laws for their province.

There are three branches of government, the Executive branch, the Legislative branch, and the Judicial branch. Each of these branches have a vital role to play in the operation of or nation. These three branches work, not always together, to ensure the continued operation of our nation, and they each check one another to ensure that one branch does not become too powerful. Everyone has an individual opinion on what the most important branch of this federal government is, and everyone has a right to that opinion. In my opinion the Judicial branch is the most important branch and most likely the most powerful.…
Federalism is our country's system of government, which helped a lot due to the system of government not working out as planned.

In the United States of America each of the 50 states have a state government. Within those states, each county has a government. Throughout history, the courts have played a key role in determining the role of this intergovernmental system. The Courts have been asked time and again to choose between Constitutional commands supporting the national government on the one hand and commands supporting state and local governments on the other (Wise). This situation of no separate sphere for state lawmaking evolved because the states were not given specific powers in the U.S. Constitution, but were left the residuary power.…
Compared to the Presidential system, the Parliamentary system is more favourable to a healthy democracy.

Within the Parliamentary system, the executive and legislative powers are fused together to set and control the government (Mintz et al. 331-332).…

When the thirteen British colonies in North America declared their independence in 1776, they laid down that “governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The “colonies” had to establish a government, which would be the framework for the United States. The purpose of a written constitution is to define and therefore more specifically limit government powers. After the Articles of Confederation failed to work in the 13 colonies, the U.S. Constitution was created in 1787. When thinking about the different things from North America, a lot of things come to mind.…
