The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed by a democratic
constitutional monarchy, while the United States is a federal republic and
a multi-party, parliamentary democracy republic is Lithuania. More or less,
each of the states have two types of governments: London, the capital, is
the centre of government for the whole Britain, but local authorities are
partly responsible for education, health care, etc., whereas each of the 50
states of the USA also has its own government and is joined to the others
by federal government, as well as there are State and Local governments in
Lithuania.
There are two chambers (‘houses’) of the Parliament in Britain: the House
of Commons and the House of Lords, while government of the US is entrusted
to three separate authorities: the Executive, the Legislative and the
Judicial and the government of Lithuania, the highest executive body is
made up of the Prime Minister and 14 ministers and Seimas.
Both Houses in Britain have a similar system of debate. This may be about a
new law or tax , or about other state problems. The executive branch in the
USA and Lithuanian executive body of the government have very much in
common. Both states have a President who has a powerful role, for example,
both the President of the USA and the President of Lithuania is Commander-
in-Chief of the military forces. The Queen in Britain otherwise has an
essentially ceremonial role, restricted in exercise of power by convention
and public opinion. What is more, both the USA and Lithuania has several
departments of different activity.
Nevertheless, all the three states have a little in common legislative
branch: and the House of Commons in Britain, and the Legislative branch in
the USA, and Seimas in Lithuania. There are currently 659 MPs representing
constituencies in the parliament of Britain, 141 members in the Seimas of
Lithuania, whereas the USA slightly differs from them. The legislative
