When comparing the communist nation of China with the democratic nation of Australia many differences are apparent. The application of the legislative (law making and modifying function), executive (administrative function) and judiciary (law enforcing and dispute resolving function) is vastly different between the two nations as can see when we compare and contrast the underlying principles of each system of government. Firstly, both nations claim to uphold the concept of the rule of law, although due to corruptive forces surrounding the Chinese court system, this concept is often thwarted and equality before the law is not upheld. Within the constitutions of both nations the basic principles of separation of powers have been applied; however on examination of the practice of separation within the nations we find that convention (in the case of Australia) and the corruptive influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have not allowed such separation. Finally, the representation of the people by each nation’s governments will be compared through examining contrasting election and law making practices. With reference to the three arms of government, the comparisons made between the underlying principles of both China and Australia’s systems of government will support the understanding that democratic nations are a government of the people, by the people, for the people; making them just, whilst communist nations often struggle to provide the same justice and citizen involvement in their political process.…

A good government is a reflection of its citizens. The mechanics of a good government distinguish it from different governments around the world. However, how a government elects its leader is a big part of the way it runs in general. Many governments have different systems in which they elect their leader. In North America, electing a leader is a big responsibility for the citizens of that country. Particularly in Canada, our electoral system has been the same for many years and relies on the citizens to make a decision. Canada uses a system called first-past the-post or single member plurality . This system consists of a simple objective; to receive a majority of the votes . This system has worked well for many years without any major issues.…
It has found a happy medium between too much and too little government and has found a place that ensure personal freedom as long as it does not harm others. If we compare Canada with Egypt as well as the US we see that they sit in the middle of the two. If we compare the amount of gun violence in Canada compared to the US there is a drastic difference. If we look at stats of gun crime per 100 residents that own guns, we see that the US is 3 times more than canada. This could be tied with the varying amounts of government control. In Canada there is government control about gun permits and there are certain guns such as handguns that are held in the restricted category. In the US you can get permits a lot easier and for many more guns; guns that are lethal such as handguns. We see that the self interests of certain individuals without some control of the government is not beneficial to society. We also see the benefits of having a government which allows its citizens power to a certain extent. Unlike Egypt, Canada allows its citizens to have a say in the direction of the country and how they want to live their life. This has been proven to be successful. Citizens are given the opportunity to pursue their self-interests. This causes constant push through society, letting us advance without causing problems that relate to little government control. Another part of Canada that shows an ideal balance between government and freedom is the way our market is set up. Canada is considered a mixed economy in which certain sectors of the market are owned by the government and other sectors are owned by the individual. The health care is owned by the government, and yet businesses can be owned by the individual. This ensures that while we can still have self-interest and desire to do what we want, we still have parts of our life that will always be there such as health care. Canada connects…
Between circa 1925 and circa 1950, the relations between the Chinese peasants and the Chinese Communist Party became out of hand due to the peasant rebellions/uprising groups present, the tension between Japan and the communist party, and most notable the mass reform during this time period.…
Classical Athens and Han China had their own kind of government with different regulations that were very much alike. The Athenians had a democratic government that they believed to be original and better than any other. They believed in equality and fairness, and they respected the laws that were set upon them. “Our form of government is called democracy because its administration is in the hands, not of a few, but of the whole peoples” (Doc. D). The government of Classical Athens was of the people and for the people. “...any member of the Assembly could speak about anithing, providing he could command an audience. But for practical reasons, there was also an official agenda. This was prepared by a Council composed of 500 men, 50 from each of the ten Attic tribes” (Doc E). In Acient Athens they wanted the people to be satisfied with their rulers, which they got to vote for, but also expected them to follow the laws that were made and were also madet7 part of making decisions in their community. Likewise in the Han China’s government the emperor was chosen by the Mandate of Heaven where “Heaven” was the people and they had to be satisfied with the emperor as well. “Heaven sees with the eyes of its people. Heaven hears with the ears of its people” (Doc. F). In China the people believe that “Heaven” chooses the next emperor by recommendation of the previous emperor and reveals through acts and deeds. If the people accept…
Canada has strong democratic traditions upheld through a parliamentary system within the construct of constitutional monarchy; the monarchy of Canada is the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.…
Canadians vote on who is to lead the country and therefore are responsible for choosing their own leader. The P.M. also is forced to partake in re-election process every four years; allowing Canadians to exercise their right to create a different outcome. In addition to being elected, the P.M. also faces an official opposition as well as other seated parties to challenge his/her political views and power. For example, if the official opposition forms a coalition with the other opposing parties when in a minority government, it is very difficult for the governing party to pass a bill. This creates an opportunity for all MPs to contribute to the final decision. As well as being elected and having to face an opposition, another reason the Prime Minister can’t be considered a Democratic Dictator is because the governing party and all other seated opposition parties must vote on every proposed law in the House of Commons. Those seated in the House of Commons hold the power to deny or progress a bill based on the majority choice. Before the bill is declared law it also must be approved by the Senate and Governor General. There is an extensive process to making a law official, the Prime Minister does not have sole power to dictate…
Canada is a fusion of the British parliamentary system with the American federalism. The Prime Minister is the highest role in the government. He can appoint or remove individual from the cabinet and patriotic appointments. Lloyd Axworthy was hired as a cabinet minister by both Trudeau and Chrétien (Cook & Belanger, 2007: p. 401). The PM controls all justices of the Supreme Court of Justice, vacant seats in the senate, all heads of Canadian Crown Corporations and many more.…

An example of a democracy is our neighbor country, Canada. Canada has a federal parliamentary democracy which is defined by Britannica.com as, “democratic form of government in which the party(s) with the greatest representation in the parliament (legislature) forms the government, its leader becoming prime minister or chancellor”. Canada was once a colony of Great Britain, but became an independent country in 1867. Canada’s government, Parliament, is a model of Britain’s Parliament with two legislative categories: the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate has 105 members who may hold the office until the age 75. The House of Commons has 301 members who are elected for a maximum of five years. The executive branch is made of the…
Since 1867, the Parliament of Canada has been the heart of Canada’s democracy. In fact, Parliament is the legislative branch of government in Canada with the lower house being the elected House of Commons and the upper house being the Senate. In Parliament, issues of the day are examined, the government is held accountable, and policies and laws are decided on. Although Canada has been a democracy for the last 150 years, Canada’s political institutions are in need of reform as distortion in representation at the House of Commons as well as the effectiveness of the senate are undermining Canada’s democracy. To be able to understand the extent of the issues in the legislative branch of government, it is important to know how each chamber operates…

Is it possible for one simple ballot to create such an incredible impact on Canada’s welfare? Or is it a tad bit exaggerated, opposed to the in-depth and precise political aspect of thinking? In regards to the most recent election, Canada’s political parties have many differing viewpoints on the political, economical, and social forms of the “True, North, Strong, and Free” country that we all live in.…
The United States Constitution was based on having the powerful state government and also small central government and still is, the Canadian Constitution thinks a bit different. Both are democracies and federal states. The United States only has one basic language, English and Canada has two which are English and French. The constitution in America is Republic and the constitution in Canada is monarchy. Americans have presidential- congressional and Canadians have parliamentary-cabinet government. Also different is that custom, usage, practice, and convention have a bigger part in the Canadian constitution than in the American constitution. In both the United States and Canada constitution are both written with precise meaning in the courts. In the United States the court have interpreted their constitution to make federal and narrow state powers bigger. In Canada the court have theirs interpret the constitution act 1867 to narrow federal power and make provincial…
