Government

Deregulation :)

The opposite of rule by the people would be a dictatorship, tyranny, or other form of absolute rule (over the people). An absolute monarchy could also qualify.

In communism, the state would operate "for" the people, and would actually need elements of democracy to determine what was best for everyone. In practice, it usually consists of an open oligarchy by its executives (commissariat).

There is one National government, 50 state governments, the governments of the territories, Commonwealths, possessions and protectorates (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, etc). Cities and counties have their own goverments- so there are literally tens of thousands of governments in the US.

Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the Canadian head of State (represented as of 27 September 2005 by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada), and the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, prime minister, is the head of Government. Most of the Queen's functions are exercised only on the advice of the prime minister and ministers, meaning that the weight of decision-making power rests with the prime minister.

Democratic---------- Who ever wrote this is wrong... about as wrong as you can be. Rousseau desired a fictional (has never existed in reality) government that ruled for community good against the General Will. He believed people were selfish and would rule in self interest. He proposed massive changes to the educational system to instill the importance of communal prosperity and to discourage self mindedness. How Rousseau's government would work is never mentioned. It is more of a social critique than a political philosophy. Rousseau is emphasizing the problems within our own judgements and minds more than the problems within governments.

(personal opinion)

--------------Rousseau was a political idiot but a social visionary with some very good ideas regarding education that we are only now beginning to realize ourselves.

Jews have never had any influence in a the american government.

Most people think this because of what happened in some historic american wars. The Jews at that time persuaded the leaders of the american government to let them 'help' or make some decisions and the government did, because the Jews kept bribing them with money if the americans said no. This event has stuck with loads of people eventhough it doesn't happen anymore.

There are only about 2% of Jews in America, so they dont really have that much power.

true

The non-legislative functions of Congress are the powers and responsibilities NOT related to passing laws. For example: impeachment power, confirmation power, and investigative power

oligarchyOligarchy is the form of government. This is the form that only few people rule.

In a Parliamentary government, the Executive branch is made up of the Prime Minister or Premier, and that official's cabinet. The Prime Minister and Cabinet are themselves members of the legislative branch, the Parliament.

An institute created by society to create and enforce public policies.

A confederation is a form of government where power is concentrated at the regional or provincial level at the central government has very weak and limited powers

They don't want to show you the truth because then they'd have a bad image of themselves, and they want us to think they are amazing, perfect, and always right. They also lie to us to "keep us safe".

yes

We have our own share of the guilt, though; we do not make good government easy. We demand change and that the government do the things that need doing. Then we protest and vote against the ones who dare try. If you doubt the truth of this (this is being written in mid March 2011) check the News for the phrase "collective bargaining". An attempt is being made to get rid of union featherbedding, at least a little. And the people are out in droves protesting the people who are trying to save the state's economy, as if featherbedding (and forcing people to join unions, or pay just as much as if they were in) were a civil right. One thing that they lie about is Food & Health.

The UK does not have a President. Constitutionally the head of state is the monarch who is a hereditary member of the Royal Family. However, the monarch has very few formal powers & stays above party politics.So, in practice, the most important person in the British political system is the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is for the most part synonymous w/ the President

Any form of government that allows people to elect an executive leader is generally termed a "democratic" government. With that said, it means that the executive leader has the power to enforce laws. Generally speaking in such a government the legislative branch of the government normally allows for the election of legislators.

The job of the executive branch is to enforce the laws that the legislative make. The president/executive branch also handles foreign policy, acts as the ceremonial head of state, and acts as policy communicator to Congress and the citizens of the US.

The law can set parameters for the resolution of a dispute or a conflict. It also sets the rules, for example people may not hit each other to resolve a conflict.
