What is the difference between a country having a prime minister or a president?
the French president is elected by all French aged 18 and above every five years. This is a two-round direct election (the first round being used to weed out all but the two strongest candidates).
He is the head of the armies and has a constitutional remit to represent France abroad.
The prime minister heads the government. He is nominated by the president and answers to the parliament. The government is formed of members of the strongest party in the national assembly (otherwise it does not last very long...). In the last 25 years a left-wing president had to endure a right-wing government, and vice-versa. The president cannot fire his PM, only the parliament can achieve that, but in practice Prime Ministers often decide "freely" to resign.
The fact that parliamentary elections are now held just after the presidential one, gives the elected president a strong base. The president holds much more power and the prime minister had his role reduced (PM were often said to be the "fuse" protecting the president from popular discontent)
The current prime minister, François Fillon, has an even more reduced role due to the activity (some say frantic activity) of the president Nicolas Sarkosy. He accepted that, saying that the PM's role had to evolve into a kind of vice-presidency. :- Your momma is a fatty
What is the difference between constitutional and nonconstitutional?
the obvious difference is that constitutional is a system for governance, often codified as a written document, that establishes the rules and principles of an autonomous political entity. In the case of countries, this term refers specifically to a national constitution defining the fundamental political principles, and establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of a government.
-Wikipedia
Constitutional is something that is in agreement with the constitution, like a law or document or bill. Unconstitutional, decided by the supreme court, would be something that goes against of defies the constitution, also things such as a bill, law, or document.
Constitutional means the statement or law is in agreement with the Constitution of the United States. Say a law that says ' Anyone can drink out of a public drinking fountain' would be constitutional because it agrees with the constitution on the matter of "All men are created equal" This means all people will have equal rights and no body can legally discriminated from drinking at a public drinking fountain. Lets also say that some congressman decides to try and pass a law that says 'Only whites can drink out of public drinking fountains' This law is unconstitutional BECAUSE it discriminates against a certain group (black people in this case). This conflicts with the constitutional statement "All men are created equal".
Nonconstitutional governments, besides the fact that they do not have a constitution, are different from constitutional governments in that they are usually monarchies or dictatorships. Rulers whose very word is law would not like the idea that they have to follow some sort of rulebook. Governments who have constitutions almost always have some sort of ruling body of people to make sure that the constitution is followed. An example of this is the three branches of government in the United States.
Is it legal to gamble in the US?
Any number of states have race tracks, off-track-betting facilities, gambling casinos (especially on the property of the Native American Tribal Reservations), state lotteries, etc, etc.
Gambling in the US is mainly regulated by state, rather than Federal, law. So it matters very much where you live. You may need to travel to a different state, or to a particular location within your own state (Missouri, for example, allows "Riverboat gambling". Legal casinos may operate aboard an "excursion boat." The legal definition includes permanently docked "boats" which are not readily recognizable as such, such as Sam's Town near Kansas City, which floated in what was essentially a very large, shallow, swimming pool and was reachable without noticeably crossing water. It was, to be fair, near the river.)

What were the key decisions made at the Congress of Vienna?
Important People:
Though the conference opened with a series of glittery balls and conferences, the delegates soon got down to work. Mainly, the four major powers of Europe (Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Great Britain) were left to make most of the big decisions. Austria was represented by Prince Klemens von Metternich, the Austrian minister of state who was also acting president of the Congress. The Russians sent Alexander I, the emperor of Russia. The main delegate from Prussia was Prince Karl August von Hardenberg, and Great Britain was represented by Lord Castlereagh, and later Arthur Wellesley, the first duke of Wellingtom. This group of major powers decided that France, Spain, and the smaller powers would have no say in important decisions. However, the French diplomat, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand, was successful in allowing France to have an equal voice in the negotiations. Talleyrand became the deciding vote in many of the decisions.
Important Decisions:
Outcomes of the meeting:
The goal of the congress was to reestablish a balance of power amongst the countries of Europe and have peace between the nations. The Congress was highly successful in achieving its goal, for the peace in Europe was left undisturbed for almost 40 years.
The actions of the senate are authorized by who?
The role of the Senate is authorized in Section 3 of Article 1 of the Constitution. Information about the Section 3 of Article 1 of the Constitution is on the website below http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_A1Sec3.html
A storey on a house is only official if it is above grade. A basement does not count as a storey. To have a two storey house, it has to have 2 levels above grade. ie a main floor and an upper floor. A walkout basement on a bungalow doesn't count. And the upper level has to be the same size or comparable to the main floor to count as a complete storey. This can also include houses that only have half the actual living space on an upper level, however they have a vaulted 17+ foot ceiling in the living room and/or kitchen. This still counts as a two storey and is apparent when viewing from the outside.

How did the united nations start?
The mainstream narrative of the United Nations has long been that its creation in 1945 was an almost revolutionary act that constituted a seminal answer to the atrocities of World War II and the Holocaust and must be seen as an unprecedented universal (even though U.S.-led) attempt to achieve world peace and guarantee human rights (see Amrith and Sluga 2008). In this context, the positive accounts on the UN's history in recent years seem to be due to the "New World Order" proclaimed by former U.S. President George H.W. Bush and the intellectual reaction to Goerge W. Bush's unilateralism in order to show that the UN does matter (Mazower 2009: 5). Apparently, however, not only historians, also international relations (IR) scholars failed to appropriately address the complex nature of the ideas and ideologies constituting the basis of the UN.
The British historians Mark Mazower and Dan Plesch have initiated interesting debates
about the origins and thus, implicitly, the very nature of the United Nations organization. Here, two main questions shall guide us: To what extent do we have to contest the narrative that the creation of the United Nations in 1945 constituted a radical shift in world history? And secondly, did the UN rather perpetuate colonial ideas or was it, in contrast, designed to end colonialism?
While Plesch argues that 1942 was the birth date of the United Nations, Mazower
observes some continuity since the early twentieth century and the League of Nations. Both authors approach the subject quite differently: Dan Plesch provides an archive-based narrative of a UN already established during the war, and Mazower illustrates the ideological origins of the organization with the intellectual setting of its leading figures. Mazower looks at specific persons he considers as key figures: The South African Prime Minister Jan Smuts, the English internationalist Sir Alfred Zimmern, the Jewish emigrants Joseph Schechtman and Raphael Lemkin, and last but not least the first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. In contrast to Mazower, who in comparison rather tends to neglect the most obvious documents and meetings, Plesch focuses very much on the Atlantic Charter (1941), the talks at Dumbarton Oaks (1944), as well as the conferences in Yalta and San
Francisco (1945) that led finally to the establishment of the United Nations organization.

Why did the greek tyranny lose power?
At the end of the Classical period, around 360 B.C., the Greek city-states were weak and disorganized from two centuries of warfare. (First the Athenians fought with the Persians; then the Spartans fought with the Athenians; then the Spartans and the Athenians fought with one another and with the Thebans and the Persians.) All this fighting made it easy for another, previously unexceptional city-state to rise to power.
