Ch 22 Foreign Governments

1.  Pick two countries in Chapter 22 and provide an in depth paragraph on their government and how it operates.
Great Britian-Britian's unitary governent is based on an unwritten constitution and it hereditary monarch reigns but does not rule. Great Britian has the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons is known as the lower house, they have a prime minister that is appointed by the queen. The House of Lords is higher. Britian's governement is very opiniated and have open debates where anyone can shout out anything.
Mexico- Mexico's governement includes an executive branch headed by the president, a bicameral legislature, and a national judiciary. The first gained their independence from Spain and began to build their own government. Their states are allowed to have power to legislate on local matters and to levy taxes, but most of their funding comes from a national level.


2. What are some of the similarities of the countries that are in Chapter 22?
Some similarities of the countries in this chapter are they all have a head leader whether its a prime minister or a president. In their government they also have two sides. For example, Britian's House of Lords and House of Commons.


3. What are some of the differences of the countries that are in Chapter 22?
Some differences are in our country we are very respective and listen. In Britian during their sessions people are making lots of noise and interupting each other which is really rude.

4. Which country in Chapter 22 do you believe has the strongest government and why?
I believe that Great Britian has the strongest goverment because they are very organized and let the people speak their mind.


5. In what ways does the U.S. government relate to the methods of governments listed in Chapter 22?
The U.S government has a head leader, the President, just like the other countries in this chapter. Many things are the same between our country and other but I think there are more differences.
