The Political System of the United Kingdom

Power in Great Britain is divided among three branches: the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch. The United Kingdom is а unitary state and а democratic constitutional monarchy. Its system of government (often known as the Westminster system) has directly inspired the government of other countries, such as Canada, India, Australia, and Jamaica.

The head of state and theoretical ultimate source of power in the UK is the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II (a descendant of the Saxon king Egbert). Although the reigning monarch is the head of the executive body, an integral part of the legislature, the head of the judicial body, the commander- in- chief of the Armed Forces of the Crown, the head of the Established Church of England and the head of the British Commonwealth of Nations. In reality, the Queen has an essentially ceremonial role, restricted in exercise of power by convention and public opinion, though the monarch does exercise three essential rights: the right to be consulted, the right to advise and the right to warn. In practical terms, the political head of the UK is the Prime Minister, who must have the support of the House of Commons. In formal terms, the Crown in Parliament is sovereign.

Parliament, the law- making body of the British people, consists of three elements: the Monarchy, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. They meet together only оn occasions of ceremonial significance, such as the state opening of Parliament, although the agreement of all three is normally required for legislation. Parliament in Britain has existed since 1265. Parliament meets at the Раlасе of Westminster.

The House of Commons consists of 651 elected members called Members of Parliament or MPs. Its main purpose is to make laws bу passing Acts of Parliament, as well as to discuss current political issues. The executive branch is headed bу the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister or leader of the Government, is also an MP, usually the leader of the political party with a majority in the House of Commons. He consults and advises the Monarch on government business, supervises and coordinates the work of the various ministers and departments in the House of Commons. He also makes recommendations to the Monarch on many important public appointments. The Prime Minister is advised by the Cabinet of about twenty other ministers. All major decisions of the Government are made by the Cabinet, and therefore it is the Cabinet, which forms Government policy. The Cabinet includes the ministers in charge of major government departments or ministries. Departments and ministries are run by civil servants, who are permanent officials. Even if the Government changes after an election, the same civil servants are employed. Elections to the House of Commons are an important part of Britain's democratic system.

The House of Lords consists of around 1,270 non- elected members: the Lords Temporal and the Lords Spiritual. The Lords Spiritual are the Archbishops of York and Canterbury, together with twenty- four senior bishops of the Church of England. The Lords Temporal consist of hereditary peers and peeresses who have inherited their titles: life peers who are appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Government for various services to the nation: and the Lords of Appeal (Law Lords) who become life peers on their judicial appointments. The latter serve the House of Lords as the ultimate Court of Appeal. This Appeal Court consists of some nine Law Lords who hold senior judicial office. They are presided over by the Lord Chancellor and they form a quorum of three to five when they hear appeal cases. The main legislative function of the House of Lords is to examine and revise bills from the Commons. The Lords cannot normally prevent proposed legislation from becoming law if the Commons insists оn it.

The judicial branch interprets the laws. Тhe highest judicial body is the Supreme Court of Judicature, which consists of two divisions: the High Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal. The United Kingdom has no Ministry of Justice. Responsibility for the administration of the judicial system in England and Wales is divided between the courts themselves, the Lords Chancellor, and the Home Secretary. The Lords Chancellor is responsible for the composition of the courts, civil law, parts of criminal procedure and law reform in general; the Home Secretary is responsible for the prevention of criminal offences, trial and treatment of offenders and for the prison service. It is often said that English law is superior to the law of most other countries. The English judicial system contains many rules which protect the individual against arbitrary action by the police and the government. There are two mаіn types of court for criminal cases: Magistrates' Courts and Crown Courts for more serious offences.

XI.Read and translate the text, pay attention to the Present Perfect and explain the use of the verb “have”.

The British constitution has involved over many centuries. Unlike the constitution of France and many Commonwealth countries, the British constitution has not been assembled at any time into a single, consolidated document. Instead it’s made up of common law, statute law and convention.

Of all the democratic countries in the world, only Israel is comparable to Britain in having no single document codifying the way its political institutions function and setting out the basic rights and duties of its citizens.

Britain does, however, have certain important constitutional documents, including the Magna Carta(1215) which Protects the rights of the community against the Crown: the Bill of the Rights (1689) which expended the powers of Parliament, making it impracticable for the Sovereign to ignore the wishes of the Government; and the Reform Ct Act (1832) which reform the system of parliamentary representation. The flexibility of the British constitution helps to explain why it has developed so fully over the years. However, since Britain joined the European Community in 1973, the rulings of the European Court of Justice have increasingly determined and codified sections of British law in those areas covered by the various treaties to which Britain is a party. In the process British constitutional and legal arrangements are beginning to resemble those of Europe.

The Political System of the United States of America

The United States of America is a federal Union. The form of the federal government of the country is based on the Constitution adopted on September l7, 1787. The US Constitution is relatively brief document outlining the structure of the three departments of the federal government and relation to the states which form the Union. However, the Constitution provides a method of amendment, in fact, it has been 26 time amended since its adoption. A constitution in American political language means a set of rules, laws and regulations that provide the norms for conducting the work of the government. The federal government headed by the President deals with international problems and national matters. Every state has its own constitution and the state government, headed by the Governor, manages its local affairs. States' laws and decisions must not contradict the federal Constitution. The federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, the executive and the judicial.

The idea of separating powers among the various elements of government was design to restrict governmental power and prevent its abuse. Where never possible, the Fonding Fathers built a system of “checks and balances” into the Constitution so that no one part of the government could supplant the other. Each branch checks or limits the power of the other branches. For ехаmрlе, although Congress makes laws, the president can veto them. Even if the president veto а law, Congress mау check the president bу overriding his veto with а two- thirds- vote. The Supreme Court can overturn laws passed bу Congress and signed bу the president. The selection of federal and Supreme Court judges is made bу the other two branches. The president appoints judges, but the Senate reviews his candidates and has the power to reject his choices. With this system of checks and balances, по branch of government has superior power.

Article 1 of the Constitution begins as follows: "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives". "Upper" and "Lower" are commonly applied to the two branches of a bicameral legislature, the upper being the less numerous and higher in rank of the two. A member of the Senate is usually referred to as a Senator, and a member of the House as a Congressman. The function of the legislative branch of the government is to make the laws and to finance the operation of the government through levying taxes and appropriating money requested by the executive branch of the government.

Article II of the US Constitution runs: "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." The executive branch, which includes the President, and the President's Cabinet, is responsible for administering and executing the laws. The President must be a natural- born citizen, at least thirty five years old, and for at least fourteen years a resident of the United States.

The Constitution gives the president many important powers. As chief executive, the president appoints secretaries of the major departments that make uр the president's cabinet. Today there are 13 major departments in the executive branch: the Departments of State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Interior, Agricu1ture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, and Education. As chief executive, the president also appoints senior officials of the many agencies in the expansive bureaucracy.

As head of state, the president represents the country abroad, entertains foreign leaders, аnd addresses the рublіс. As director of foreign роlісу, he appoints foreign ambassadors and makes treaties with other nations. The president also serves as commander- in- chief of the armed forces and as head of his political party.

According to Article III of the Constitution" the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish". The US Supreme Court is the highest tribunal in the United States. It includes the Chief Justice and eight associate justices. The Court's function is to interpret the Constitution, not to alter or modify it.

The structure of American government is really a mosaic composed of thousands of interlocking units. In addition to the federal government, there are 50 state governments and the government of the District of Columbia, and further down the ladder of smaller units that govern counties, cities, towns and villages.

The federal government is, of course, the largest, but the governments of the 50 states and thousands of smaller units are no less important. The drafters of the Constitution created this multilayered system of government. They made the national structure supreme and assigned it certain specific functions, such as defense, currency regulation and foreign relations; yet they wisely recognized the need for levels of government more directly in contact with the people, and so they left many other responsibilities in the hands of state and local jurisdictions.

State and local governments are, however, forbidden from passing any law that denies or erodes the fundamental rights guaranteed to all U.S. citizens in the Constitution.

The olive branch and the arrows held in the eagle’s talons reflect both the nation’s commitment to peace and its willingness to fight if necessary. The Latin inscription E Pluribus Unum – “From Many, One”- is a reminder that the nation is a Union of many states and of peoples from many other nations. The design for the great seal was chosen in 1782, and the present modification dates from 1904.The great seal is kept in the U.S. Department of State.

2. The Flag Day: June 14, is the birthday of the American flag. On this date in 1777, the Continental Congress adopted a resolution stating that the flag of the new nation should contain thirteen horizontal stripes ( seven red ones and six white ones) to symbolize the thirteen colonies, and thirteen white stars arranged in a circle to symbolize the unity and equality of these colonies. In 1776, after the colonies had declared their independence from Great Britain, George Washington and two other revolutionary leaders were assigned the task of designing a national flag. The colours they chose were red for courage, white for liberty, and blue for loyalty. According to American legend, they brought their design to Betsy Ross, a young widow who was an excellent seamstress. She followed their sketch exactly, except for suggesting that the stars be five- pointed rather than six- pointed. Because she made the first American flag, Betsy Ross' name is still well- known to Americans. Her little home in Philadelphia has been preserved as a monument and tens of thousands of tourists visit it each year. The American flag has been redesigned many times since Betsy Ross made the original. Today, the flag still consists of thirteen horizontal stripes alternately red and white equal to the number of the original states with a blue union marked with white stars equal in number to 50 states today. The red stripes proclaim courage, the white stripes proclaim liberty, the field of blue stands for loyalty. It is called the stars and the stripes and old glory.

3. The nick name. It was in 1812 when the nickname of the US government "Uncle Sam" appeared. “Uncle” Samuel Wilson supplied beef to the American army, during the war of 1812, standing his barrеls with the letters “U.
