The English system of government is similar to the U.S. system of government in many respects because, of course, the founders of the U.S. were English. They took what they believed were the best parts of English representation, looked back at Antiquity and looked at the Athenian democracy as well as Rome's early constitution, and weaved these into the three branches of the U.S. government. The U.S. Legislative Branch consists of two bodies: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Athens and Rome had their Senate; England has in their Parliament the House of Lords and House of Commons. The U.S. founders took the Senate of Athens and Rome and combined it with the English House of Commons for what they believed would be an adequate representation of the people they wanted to govern.

Is the English legal system the same as American legal system?
Common law encompasses law that is "understood" rather than legislated by Congress, in the U.S. Common law in the US began with the common law of England. So English common law is part of the basis of law in the U.S. Where there is no legislated law in a particular area and courts have cases in those areas - the court will turn to common law for guidance on what the law is and how the case should be decided. This is a simplified answer but specifically to your question - NO, they are not "the same" in the US and England.

Which country was congress willing to loan money to at the beginning of World War 2?
I belive that Congress was willing to give money to England because, if Germany took over England, Hitler could easily have gotten into the United States and taken over it too. Congress mostly did that to protect us, making sure that the Atlantic Ocean was only in use of us and England. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions on WWII, let me know!
