Different Types Of Government Power In The United States

For the United States, the best form of government is a Federal, Representative, Presidential Democracy. We’ve had this form or government since as long as we can remember, why change it now? My grandpa always said, “If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.” So why would we want to change something that’s been working for so long?

The federal type of government power has been used in the United States since 18th century. It allows laws to be passed at a Federal District (Washington D.C) but it also allows states to experiment with their own types of laws too. For example: When Colorado passed a law that legalized Marijuana, that was the state's decisions that is only for their state. It didn’t have to be passed by the president. With the passing

In a unity form of government laws are made in one place and enforced throughout the country. For example: Great Britain makes laws in London and they are the same everywhere. This form is very consistent and not confusing to the people, but it also limits the trying of new things/experimentation like federal does. A confederation is an alliance of independent states, who have a government that only handles certain matters that the member states allow them too. The government does not make laws for the individual. The states help in matters of common concern but are separate. (For example: The Soviet Union) The downfall of this form is that each state would basically be their own country, if you live in one and then move to another, laws and life would be totally different. You also depend on an alliance with the others states, which could cause problems like it did with the Confederate States of America

In a presidential government has the executive and legislative branches powers are separate. Both branches are independent and equal. With a presidential government the people elect a chief executive called the President. The president holds offices for a fixed amount of time, and has broad powers that are not controlled by the legislative. When compared with a parliamentary, the executive branch also known as the government has a prime minister, who is appointed by the legislative (Parliament). The legislative controls the executive, with 80% more power. A presidential form is best because all branches are equal and they all have to work together to get things done. This also means that it’s harder to get stuff done, like passing laws. With parliamentary laws get passed, fast! But, the legislative basically has all control, they chose who they want to be prime minister and they could have a majority “vote of no confidence” where the government would have to resign, at any point in time. A parliamentary form just wouldn't work in the United States, sometimes passing law slowly is better then way too
