Comparing Governments

What did i learn that surprised me?

I always thought that each country voted for a President voted by the people. Like we do here in the US. I learned that in other countries that each one has a different or mildly different government. Some of these types work for their country and others are not working so well. I tried to do smaller countries that i did not know a lot about. I chose Gabon, Georgia, Papua New Guinea, Laos, and Suriname. These showed me some different Government types like Communist or Republic. They also showed me the 3 branches. the US has an executive branch that is the VP and Pres. Some other countries have a President, but also A Prime Minister. The legislative branch is also different. Some countries only have 1 house and others have 2, but each house is different like National Assembly, House of Representatives, and Senate. Finally the Judicial branch. Most countries have a Supreme Court, but others have a Cantond Court or a People’s Supreme Court. Overall this research of different government types was fun to do, but also fun to learn. Now i have a bigger perspective on the world.

 

How would i Structure my ideal government?

I would structure mine probably like the US because it works. I don’t want to do some type of government that i am unknown to because what happens if it goes wrong. My papers do show that these types of governments do work, but i think of it as there is a chart like with Government Type, Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, etc… You choose the way you want to run it for your country. I don’t know what works together or not. What political parties work with what kind of Executive Branch we have? It is a hard decision.
