Os C&B estão na separação dos poderes, não numa decisão [
]
The political structure of the USA is quite different from many other democracies. We describe it as a Federal Republic with a presidential system.
The federal system means that power is divided between the national government of the USA and individual state governments.
There are 50 states, with each state being able to make their own laws.This is why tax, education, health care and more can vary so dramatically across the United States.
While the federal government controls national issues like defence and foreign policy,
states have their own laws and policies in areas like education and public health.
Another key feature of US politics is known as the separation of powers.
The separation of powers divides the government into three different branches, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch
, and ensures that no single one of these branches can become too powerful.
The executive branch is led by the US president.It is responsible for enforcing laws, deciding the direction of policy, and representing the country internationally.The president is elected for four years and can serve a maximum of two terms.
The legislative branch is known as Congress. Congress includes the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The judicial branch is made-up of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. the United States has a two party political system.
É por esta separação de poderes que a America nunca teve nem terá um ditador, apesar de ser um regime presidencialista
