The 1997 Census of Government says it best...

"There were 87,504 governmental units in the United States as of June 1997. In addition to the Federal Government and the 50 state governments, there were 87,453 units of local government. Of these, 39,044 are general purpose local governments - 3,043 county governments and 36,001 subcounty general purpose governments, including 13,726 school distict governments and 34,683 special district governments."

according to my social studies book...... it says that they sent the olive branch petition.

Laissez-Faire

not the united states government, because of the constitution. However, slander is illegal, and if you make threats against someones life or the government, they'll probably have an eye on you

An oligarchy is a government controlled by a small group of wealthy landowners and corporate leaders.

The philosopher Thomas Hobbes said it, it came from the Leviathan (a book collecting most of his work)

The responsibility of a government towards its citizens economic status differs according to the type of government. Communism, for example, believes in the even distribution of wealth among all people, while a Republic strives to open opportunities for its population to gain their own financial means.?æ

Parliment and the Prime Minister are much like Congress and the President. The President of the United States is the highest office there is in our country, however, Congress as a whole can overrule the President.

The importance of Public Administration is that it helps the government operate and manage its own activities very efficiently and effectively. Public administration also plays a very important role in delivering and distributing the public services to all the corners of a given country.

If all power is held by a single person, such a government is called a DICTATORSHIP. However, if it is held by a small group of people, the government is usually called an OLIGARCHY.

We have provincial government because people can vote , participate at provincial events happning and they can get involed with it and discuss what's happening around the provine and give their oppinion to what they think. We also have provincial government because the MLA's and Cabinet Ministers and the Preimer and the Luietenant Govenor can make disision's on your behalf .

The power to ratify changes to the constitution- apex

The fact that the delegates from different regions were unfamiliar with one another.

Mary Wollstonecraft was an early supporter of women's rights and believed that everyone, man and woman, deserved "a direct share in the deliberations of government." Thus she argued against monarchies and oppressive regimes, and for a socially equal, democratic government.

1. "strong mayor - weak council", "no mayor -- council" and "weak mayor -- strong council".

   The strength of a council is that it can represent the diverse interests of a community and the strength of overlap of knowledge bases and the self-checking between members. Also a strength that the negative forces of corruption and bribery are diluted by the number of members. The weakness is inability to reach consensus on many issues, inability to reach timely consensus when time is of the essence, and the human nature build up of personal and political acrimony that impairs discussion and decision making.

   The strength of a mayor -- one person who makes the day to day decisions and can have the power to make decisions and exercise authority in urgent or emergency matters. The weaknesses are arrogance and single point of failure. The mayor is only one, when a mayor makes a bad decision it is often unchecked before damage can be done.

   Councils are found effective in small communities where decisions are rarely immediate. Perhaps 5,000 people or less.

   Council-managers are found effective in medium sized communities where day to day decision making authority becomes more important. Perhaps concentrated districts of up to 25,000, and huge spread out districts of up to 1 million. This is where the "mayor" is a day -to-day manager but still must wait for council direction or approval on decisions such as hiring and firing, non-petty or non-regular expenditures, and of course all capital expenditures.

   Strong mayor, weak council covers the remainder.

   It is important that decision making be made in a timely fashion at the most local level, yet also the one where honest responsibility for the costs and effects of expenditures can be had.

2. (I OWN NOTHING)

Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.

It was put into practice with two other main documents(1628) Petition of Rights and (1668)English Bills of Rights. Because the Magna Carta only provided the basis principle of limited government. The United States government works for the "poeple" and is elect by the "people".

Lobbyists support candidates by creating support during their campaign. Holding it over the candidate's head to get their special interest items passed.

The key is to elect someone who doesn't answer to lobbyists and is principled. That man in 2012 is Gary Johnson. Check him out at http://www.garyjohnson2012.com

The three branches of government as set forth by the Constitution of the United States of America are supposed to work in harmony with each other while at the same time jealously guarding the limited power each branch was granted them by the people. The three branches of government are; the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch. The legislative branch, being the most populated with elected officials who represent the people has been granted the power of enacting legislation, the complete and plenary power of taxation, the power to declare war, and to some vague power to promote the general welfare. The executive branch on the federal level consists of mainly the president who is also the commander in chief, who has been granted the power to veto or sign into law legislation written by Congress, and is responsible for delivering State of the Union addresses from time to time. The judicial branch on the federal level consist of the United States Supreme Court where nine justices each not elected by the people but appointed by the president with advise and consent from Congress and the Supreme Court has the power to decide the constitutionality of legislation.

While the intention of a three branched government with separate powers was to keep the balance of power in favor of the people, this is hardly the result. The President of the United States today is known to most of the world as the leader of the free world, where he finds increasing power through the dubious acts of Executive Orders, who doesn't waste time convincing Congress to declare war on this countries enemies and instead encourages legislation that would allow him to even further by pass Constitutional restraints so he may police the world. Today, the voters listen attentively while political candidates for the Presidency explain how they will bring universal health care to the people even though such an act would have to be legislated by Congress and assuming the Supreme Court is interested in the rule of law the whole health care issue proposed by a presidential candidate who won't have any power to legislate it if elected would be struck down as unconstitutional anyway.

While Congress has the power to declare war the politicians who run for office have found it politically expedient to allow the sitting President to go ahead and run the military in anyway he sees fit, unless the people who oppose the wars that follow grow into massive numbers then they will stand on their soap box and demand special legislation, Congressional hearings and Constitutional Amendments that would punish the sitting President for going to war without any declaration from Congress. The Supreme Court while limited in its original power granted them by the people found new powers in the activism of judges who created their own laws, levied taxes on the public through judicial policies and increasingly decide on laws that favor the government over the people while dismissing the rights of the people as privileges that exist to be regulated by the court approved tyrants we call our elected officials. Each branch has discovered hidden and secret meanings in the Constitution as if it were written by Nostradamus instead of many men who attended a Constitutional convention that have made each branch more powerful and rather than serving to check the other two branches, their idea of harmony is to create unwritten powers and share it amongst the branches. As long as it means abusing the rights of the people then it will find approval within any branch of the government. If the people want a good debate then lead them towards protecting the rights of the people and watch the debates begin, the filibusters blow long and hard, the press conferences go on and on as government keeps going about the business of reigning in the rights of the people.

There is, of course, of fourth branch of government not granted any power by the Constitution because it all ready exists within the people. The people powerful united, can only serve their country as individuals and as individuals should, we should all know that our government does not believe it is their responsibility to inform us when our rights are being destroyed. It is the responsibility of the people to inform the government as individuals of the rights of man and the limitations of government.
