Document Summary
Canadian vs. u. s. political system (in general) . U. s: the us presidential congressional system has the executive which consists of the. President and their office, and the two houses which form the legislature the house of. These houses are known as congress and not one member can occupy more than one branch of government at the same time. The division of powers within the us have been organized in such a way so that the abuse of power may not blend from one area to another as easily. This system encourages check and balances in terms of power through veto power. Members of the us legislature have more power for initiating and rejecting bills put forth on the floor versus the british parliamentary system. In addition, they also have greater amending powers. Although there is a dominant two-party system in the us ties are looser in general.
