Although UK and USA belong to the capitalism,yet there’s some difference about their political system,particularly the parliament system.There’re generally four differences about it in below:
Firstly,their name is different.In UK,it called the parliament that is composed of two houses:the lower house and the upper house.In USA,it named the Congress that contains the senate and house of representative.
Secondly,the way to form the parliament is somewhat different.In UK,the lower house members are formulated by general election,but the upper house members are formed by the appointment of the King or the Queen.In USA,however,both the senate and house of representative are formed by general election.
Thirdly,there’s some difference about power.For the upper house of UK,it actually has little power,it’s merely the symbol of the honor,and the real power of the law-making is controlled by the lower house.But in USA,both the senate and the house of representative have the real power.A resolution has been passed by both houses so that it can become a law.
Fourthly,their relation with government is a little different.In UK,it’s the head of the majority part in parliament that lead the government that named primer minister.In USA,the relation between the Congress and the Government is mutual supervision and restriction.The majority part in Congress does not absolutely mean that the president belongs to the majority part,because the President is elected by the general election.
To sum up,the essence of UK and USA parliament is very similar,the slight difference is embodied on the name,way of formulation,the distribution of power and the relation with government.
