Практичне заняття 7 Державний устрій сша Political System of the usa - Державний устрій сша
The United States of America is a federative republic.
Since 1959 the Federation comprises 50 states.
The president is the head of the state and executive body.
He is also the commander-in-chief of the army and Navy of the USA.
The president and vice-president are elected for a term of four years.
All the legislative power is vested in Congress, which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
There are 100 senators and 435 members in the House of Representatives.
Two Senators from each state are elected by popular vote for a term of six years, the Representatives are elected for two-year term.
Both houses must approve the bill for it to become a law.
An essential role in the US political system is played by the Supreme Court, which may declare a law, passed by Congress, to be contradictory to the Constitution of the country.
The various states have legislative and executive bodies of their own.
Their structure, function and competence are determined by the Constitution of each state.
There is an elected governor at the head of each state.
States enjoy independence in their domestic affairs, including financial matters.
However, state laws and actions of state authorities must not conflict with the Constitution of the USA.
Questions:
1. Who is the head of the state?
2. How are the senators elected?
3. Who stands at the head of each state?
4. How many senators are there in the House of Representatives?
5. How many states are there in the USA?

The Constitution
The American Constitution is based on the doctrine of the separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judiciary.
The respective government institutions — the Presidency, Congress, and the Courts — were given limited and specific powers; and a series of checks, whereby each branch of government has certain authority over the others to make sure these powers were not abused.
Government power was limited by means of a dual system of government, in which the federal government was only given the powers and responsibilities to deal with problems facing the nation as a whole (foreign affairs, trade, control of the army and navy, etc).
The remaining responsibilities and duties of government were reserved to the individual state governments.
Article V allowed for amendments to be made to the Constitution (once passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress and then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states).
The Constitution ratified by all thirteen states in 1791 already contained ten amendments, collectively known as the Bill of Rights (the freedoms of religion, speech, and the press, etc), to protect the citizens against possible tyranny by the federal government.
So far only twenty-six amendments have been made to the Constitution.
