Federal system - ANSWER The U.S. government features a central authority, or the
federal government, along with the individual states that have sovereignty shared with
the federal government. In other words, power is divided between national and local
levels. Other countries featuring a federal system include Austria, Canada, Germany,
India, Iraq, Russia, and Mexico among others. In a unitary system, by contrast, all the
power is centralized, and the states do not have any legislative power. The United
Kingdom is considered a unitary state; other examples are Afghanistan, Israel, South
Korea, France, Indonesia, and Chile, among others. Several countries have primarily
unitary systems but with some power designated to regions, including China, Italy,
Spain, and New Zealand, among others.
Presidential democracy - ANSWER The U.S. president is elected by the citizens and
controls the executive branch of government, which is independent of the legislature.
Other presidential political systems are or were found in the Weimar Republic of
Germany, Argentina, the Philippines, Kenya, and South Korea, among others. In a
parliamentary system, in contrast, the head of government is the leader of the majority
party of the popularly elected house of the legislature, with no clear distinction between
these two branches of government. Some present examples of countries which apply
this kind of government include Austria, Greece, Switzerland, Lebanon, Great Britain,
France, and Germany.
Limited government - ANSWER Government powers are limited in the United States by
the Constitution and by the system of checks and balances. An unlimited government,
on the other hand, retains all powers. Examples include Cuba under Fidel Castro and
Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Multi-party system - ANSWER The United States allows the Democratic Party or the
Republican Party to maintain governmental power; each party introduces a platform
and the people vote. Other multi-party countries include India, France, Germany, and
Israel. A one-party system, however is a type of government in which only members of
one political party can participate in elections or hold governmental office. Examples of
one-party systems include North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and the former Soviet Union.
, Federalism - ANSWER Government that divides powers between a national government
and smaller units such as states or provinces. The United States has a federalist
government system, which bestows certain powers onto the states and others to the
federal government. Inherent powers - ANSWER Powers held by a sovereign state. In
the United States, these are those powers beyond what is explicitly spelled out in the
U.S. Constitution.
Articles of Confederation - ANSWER The Articles, approved by Congress in 1777 and
then ratified by each of the 13 states, called for "a firm league of friendship" among the
states and specified both state and federal legislative powers.
Federalist Papers - ANSWER A collection of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, and John Jay, the Federalist Papers were published in New York from
late 1787 to early 1788. Supporting and commenting on the Constitution, they were
invaluable in promoting the ratification of that document by the states.
Northwest Ordinance ANSWER The Northwest Ordinance was legislation passed in
1787 that provided the basic forms to establish new states in the Northwest Territory
(i.e. northwest of the Ohio River) and admitted those newly formed states into the union.
That act is the foundation for more legislation regarding the territorial additions to the
new country thereafter. As also contributed, the Northwest Ordinance had forbidden
slavery in the newly taken territories and had guaranteed particular individual rights.
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions - ANSWER The Virginia Resolution, 1798; Madison
and the Kentucky Resolutions, 1798-1799; Jefferson dealt with the issue of divided
power between state and federal governments. They contended that the federal
government only had those powers constitutionally granted, while states had the right to
"nullify" those federal laws that exceeded those powers.
Washington's Farewell Address - ANSWER The tradition, and later the amendment,
limiting presidents to two full terms in office began with George Washington's 1796
refusal to seek a third term as president.
Seneca Falls Declaration of 1848 - ANSWER Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the primary
author of this document, which was patterned after the Declaration of Independence.
The paper called for equal rights between men and women, including the right to vote.
