Соединенные Штаты Америки являются федеративной республикой, состоящей из 50 штатов. Каждый штат имеет свое собственное правительство (« правительство штата» ). В некотором роде Соединенные Штаты напоминают 50 маленьких государств.
Правительство США действует согласно конституции. Документ был написан в 1787 году и с того времени было внесено 26 поправок. Первые десять поправок были просто права человека, или билль о правах. Согласно Конституции, США является федеративной республикой. Таким образом, должностные лица любого ранга избираются американскими гражданами. Каждый гражданин имеет права, которые не могут нарушаться.
Конституция провозглашает федеральную систему правления, которая удерживает государственную и федеральную власть от превышения полномочий. Это означает, что федеральному правительству даны некоторые полномочия, например, решать быть миру или войне, печатать деньги и регулировать торговлю и т. п.
Федеральная власть расположена в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия. Она основывается на законодательной, исполнительной и юридической ветвях власти.
Законодательной властью наделяется Конгресс, который состоит из двух палат: Сената и Палаты представителей. В Конгрессе 435 членов Палаты представителей и 100 сенаторов. Каждый штат выбирает двух членов для Сената.
Исполнительная ветвь возглавляется президентом, которому помогает вице-президент. Президент подписывает федеральные законы, является главнокомандующим вооруженными силами. Президент может наложить вето на законопроект. Вице-президент, избранный от той же самой политической партии, что и президент, действует как председатель Сената и в случае смерти президента принимает президентство. Президент США вместе с вице-президентом избираются на общенародных выборах каждые четыре года. Президент не может быть избран больше, чем на два срока. Кабинет состоит из секретарей департамента. Наиболее важным из них является госсекретарь, который занимается внешней политикой.
Судебная ветвь состоит из федеральных окружных судов, 11 федеральных судов и Верховного суда. Федеральные судьи назначаются президентом на пожизненный срок.
Федеральные суды занимаются рассмотрением случаев, где нарушен федеральный закон, а также конфликтов между гражданами различных штатов.
Конституция была поправлена 26 раз. Билль о правах гарантирует личные свободы: свободу слова, религии и так далее. Более поздние поправки отменили рабство, предоставили право голосования женщинам и цветным и дали право на голосование гражданам, достигшим 18 лет.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy, an independent federal state and parliamentary democracy with two official languages and two systems of law: civil law and common law. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth.
Its area is 9,976,000 square kilometers. The capital of Canada is Ottawa.
Canada is a federative state consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Canadian provinces are: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan. There are three large northern territories — Yukon, the Northern Territories and Nunavut.
Head of State is Queen of Britain, represented by Governor General. Head of Government is Prime Minister. The roots of Canada’s parliamentary system lie in Britain.
The Canadian Parliament consists of the Senate (the Upper House) and the House of Commons. The Senate is patterned after the British House of Lords. Its 104 members are appointed, not elected, and are divided essentially among Canada’s four main regions of Ontario, Quebec, the West and the Atlantic Provinces. The Senate has the same powers as the House of Commons, with a few exceptions.
The House of Commons is the major lawmaking body. It has 301 members, one from each of the 301 electoral districts. The representatives are elected every five years.
But the real executive power is in the hands of the Cabinet under the Prime Minister. Strictly speaking, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet are the advisers of the monarch. However, the real power belongs to the Cabinet, and the Governor General acts on its advice. The Cabinet develops government policy and is responsible to the House of Commons.
Canada is a young country, but it has a legal system rich in tradition. Common law, which is used in all provinces except Quebec, is based on principles that were developed in medieval England. The principles of Quebec’s civil law date back to the Roman Empire and reflect many principles of French law.
The supreme law of the country is Canada’s Constitution. In 1982 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms became a fundamental part of the Canadian Constitution. The Charter sets out the basic rights and liberties of each person in Canada, which must be respected by all governments.
Commonwealth — (Британское) Содружество.The Commonwealth of Nations (formerly the British Commonwealth), is an intergovernmental organisation of 52 member states that are mostly former territories of the British Empire . Содру́жество или Содру́жество На́ций до 1946 Британское Содружество наций — добровольное межгосударственное объединение суверенных государств, в которое входят Великобритания и почти все её бывшие бывшие доминионы, колонии и протектораты.
