Today many people feel that the American government is due for a reform because they feel that it is inefficient. They feel that the process of getting a law passed takes too long, and that there is too much conflict between the legislative and executive branches. However, our government takes its time so it can take the measures needed to ensure that mistakes are not made. The United States government is functioning just how it should with a Federal, Presidential, Representative Democracy. There are multiple different governments in our world today. Neither is right nor wrong, for they are created based on the needs of the people. However, over the years, political scientists have developed ways to classify these governments.
