Evaluating United States' and United Kingdom's Political Systems
Introduction
There is the absence of an official guideline on Britain's political system. Strangely in the contemporary world, Britain does not have a written constitution. The British political system is unusual in various aspects, an argument noted by comparison to other peer nations. The country's political system has long seemed a framework of stability within the evolving world. Britain has not encountered any sharp government changes that have been noted, for instance, The French politics and government for over two centuries. Instead, the British government system has gradually transformed over the centuries, with reforms being grafted into the conventional institutions. The new has been painlessly incorporated into the familiar and old. This government system was traditionally widely revered across the country and thus played a central role in communicating Britain's integrity and identity. More recently, the British political system has faced criticism for being less admirable by the push for constitutional reforms. This report examines characteristics of the UK's political system, compares Britain and United States political systems, and recommends that the US embraces the parliamentary system over the presidential structure.
Features of the British Political System
Some key features of Britain's political structure are unwritten since they are not incorporated into any formal document but rather centered on traditions and agreed applications nationally accepted and virtually undisputed. However, whether these traditions are "unwritten" or preferably not authoritatively recorded within particular law, they are extensively written and recorded by political scientists and constitutional lawmakers. Britain's constitution's primary sources include statute laws, common law, conventions, the custom and law of parliament, and the work authorities. The statute laws are authorized by parliament, and some are constitutions, including Acts that determine the electorate and the House of Lord's compositions. Common law is theoretically people's immemorial laws, which are determined by court decisions. Conventions are unwritten rules governing constitutional conduct that are inherently observed and accepted, predominantly due to potential political challenges that could happen if otherwise. The parliament's custom and law entail the rules associated with procedures, privileges, immunities, and functions of the respective houses, which are incorporated into both house's resolutions, informal understandings, and conventions. Authorities works operate when other authoritative recorded sources are absent, particularly by consulting British constitution experts (Ronek, 2014).
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) is a unitary state in its legal form. It adopts a political system with a single power that allows the central government remains ultimately supreme (OECD, 2019). The UK consists of several countries with distinct constitutional status. The country consists of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England, the Wales Principality, ...
