In the United States, our government is the system of power that acts on behalf of its people. The U.S. government was designed to serve the American people. Our government protects our rights and preserves our freedoms. Governments are set up to make and enforce laws. In this section, we will look at the basic types of governments in the world, yet the main emphasis will be placed on the understanding our American government system.\n\nIn the United States there are three levels of government. The federal government (national level) makes and enforces laws for our nation. The fifty state governments (state level) make and enforce laws for their respective states. Each city or town in which a person lives has a city or town government (local level) that makes and enforces laws for their community. The most powerful of the three levels is our federal (national level) government.

Here's a really great list... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_forms_of_government

Democracy \nA system of government where the people rule.  \n\nRepresentative Democracy \nA democracy where the people elect representatives to rule for them.  \n\nConstitutional Monarchy \nA monarchy where the monarch is a figurehead. The country is ruled through elected Parliment Members. This monarchy also has a constitution.  \n\nMonarchy \nA system of government in which a king/queen/emperor etc. is the sole and absolute ruler. The right to rule was usually passed down to the eldest son, from the current monarch, when he/she died.  \n\nOligarchy \nA system of government in which a few people rule.  \n\nAristocracy \nA system of government in which a few people rule, usually the richest, and higher class. The right to rule was passed down within the family.  \n\nTyranny \nA system of government where a ruler has total power, not limited by a constitution or\nby other officials; especially one in ancient Greece. This ruler seizes power often by force, and rules single-handedly. In ancient Greece a tyrant often ruled fairly and justly and got important things done quickly. Many were very popular.  \n\nDictatorship \nA system of government in which one person has seized power violently, and is the sole ruler for life. (Or until he/she is overthrown).  \n\nTotalitarianism \nA system of government where every single part of an individual's life is controlled and watched by the government. People who support this kind of government, believe that strict order is the key to a society without chaos. Myanmar is run by a military government, often the case in a totalitarian government.  \n\nCommunism \nCommunism is a way of living in which the government owns and runs all the business. There are many forms of communism, the "ideal" form of society. Karl Marx set down the foundation of modern communism. Unfortunately all peaceful attempts to have a communist society have been abandoned early on. Usually the only way to have a communist region, is usually through revolution. These often have a cruel dictator, and are not "ideal." There are also many factions of communism, who usually fight each other. One example is Socialism.  \n\nAnarchy\nAnarchists believe that government is evil, and that it limits individual freedoms. So anarchy is no form of government at all. Its roots can be traced back to the Goths in Europe.

In democracy we have the powers - legislative, executive and judicial. In parliamentary systems the parlament - the legislative, is the main one. it pravails over the power of the president. People vote and a parlament is formed. Then depending on the terms set in the constitution, it forms a cabinet - the executive power. So the parlament makes the law, the cabinet executes them and the judicial systems makes sure everything goes according to the constitution and the law. The prasident has less prerogatives and just a formal figure. Still his prerogatives depend on the constitution.\nThis type of system is believed to be the best, because ypou have more control and power is devided.

the US government is separated into three branches of goverment that theoretically ensure a balance of power.  These branches are the legistislature (house & senate), exectutive (president) and the judicial (supreme court).  \n\nEach branch is designed to work independent of one another, though at the same time work with each other to create laws, implement policy and to interpret the constitution through the judicial process. \n\nA governor is similar to the executive branch, but for a state. \n\nCongressman are those who are elected to the House of Representatives and Senators are those who are elected to the Senate.  Each state is represented by 2 senators for a total of 100.  The number of representatives from each state to the House is determined by its population.  The House and Senate were both created to ensure equal representation of all states, without favoring larger states.\n\nThe House of Representatives writes legistlation (laws).  But before they are made into laws, the Senate must vote on a 51-49 majority to pass it into law and the president must sign the law to become official. \n\nHope this helps!
