1. I am against the War Powers Act. The act is something that specifically targets a power given to the president through the Constitution. The president needs to be able to quickly react to foreign relations, and if they always have to go through Congress, who are typically slow, than decisions would not be able to get out fast enough. If Congress does not really like the acting president they could refuse to support them and it could be detrimental to our nation.…

Australia’s parliamentary system is categorised as a fusion as opposed to a separation of powers as the executive branch is answerable and part of the legislative branch. Each branch of government should work within their areas of responsibility so they act like checks and balances on each other with 100 years of stable government testifying to its effectiveness. A fourth way which holds the governmental branches accountable is the citizens of the country, they form a check and balance system. Citizens are able to judge a government come election time but Parliament holds governments responsible for their actions in-between elections (Fenna, 2014). Australia uses a liberal system of government which implies that there is a need to have limits of the power of governments as indicated by (Fenna, 2014).…

The supreme court of Canada exists to provide an unbiased body ensuring that the laws of the land uphold the rights and freedoms of the Charter. Though the Supreme Court acts as a system of checks and balances on the executive power of Canada, at what point does the system of the court give the judiciary too great a level of power? When acknowledging the constitutions and legislature in which the Supreme Court justices gain and hold their power, s. 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the lack of equal representation in the court, it is indisputable that the highest court in Canada is overly powerful. It is evident through the examination of court rulings and the systemic practices of the judiciary that the Supreme Court of…

This constitution furthering that by enabling Canada the power to have its own thriving government to pass their own laws, as opposed to passing them onto Britain for approval. This also set the citizen of Canada’s rights and freedoms also helping define what Canada’s identity is today. Also, there are of course all of the amendments to the Constitution including many changes such as “Resolutions of the Senate and House of Commons and of the legislative assemblies of at least two-thirds…

The ‘separation of powers’ is a doctrine that has caused much debate through the centuries, and although it is difficult to find its exact origins, it is possible to distinguish a basic separation of powers doctrine from the writings of Greek philosopher Aristotle. He remarked that a constitution must have three elements to be effective. The three are, first the deliberative, which discusses everything of common importance; second, the officials…; and third, the judicial element. The English political theorist, John Locke, conceived a similar idea about the different types of power.…
