Britain Government

Using the Internet: find two similarities and two differences between the government of Great Britain and the U.S.

Two differences between the Great Britian and U.S. governments are one, Great Britian is a monarchy and U.S is a democracy. The second difference is Britian doesn't enforce there laws in the Constitution and the U.S. does.

 

One similarity between the two governments is they both have two different groups and a head person, in Britian they have the House of the Lords and the House of the Commons, in the U.S. we have Democrats and Republicans. Another similarity is we both have a head person that all the laws need to go through we have a President and they have a Queen.

Brits Borrowing from American Political Playbook:

 

The British borrowed one of the most popular American institutions by holding a series of televised debates among their three candidates for Prime Minister. It became a success and really highlights the public intrest in the race. They have also learned there are some flaws to it. For example, leaving the mic on when it is not supposed to be and some people say things that shouldn't be said.

 

I think it was a great idea for the British to start doing this it not only gets the candidates involved but it spurs up the  public interest in the race and citizens will get to know more about the candidate they are voting for.
