Characteristics of the U.S. Presidential System and the British Constitutional Monarchy

1. The British constitutional monarchy is characterized by the supremacy of parliamentary power and the unity of the monarch.

While the British constitutional monarchy retains the monarch, it is ruled by the parliament, with the parliamentary cabinet system as the core. In this political model, the real power of the country is representative government; the king not only "ignore politics", but also away from the party political disputes, and has no right to abolish any law. However, as the head of state, the king was the symbol of national unity; at the same time, he was also the head of the Commonwealth, and played a role in maintaining the ties of the Commonwealth.

2. American federalism establishes a power structure that combines centralization and decentralization. The two-party system of alternate rule is a major feature of the United States*** and polity.

Secondly, the 1787 Constitution divides national power into legislative, judicial and executive parts, and the Congress, composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives, holds legislative power. The president is the head of state, head of government and commander-in-chief of the army, holds the executive power of the country; the supreme court holds the judicial power, has the highest judicial interpretation of the law. The three are independent and equal, but mutual restraint, in order to prevent the emergence of autocracy, which fully embodies the principle of separation of powers.
