Description
This book offers a brief and simple overview of the major political systems of five important countries namely the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Switzerland, France, and India.
It explains the importance of a constitution and how it forms the base of each country’s government. The structure and functions of the executive, legislature, and judiciary in each country are clearly described, along with the role of political parties.
The United Kingdom is discussed as a constitutional monarchy with a unique system based on conventions.
The United States is explained as a federal republic with a real executive and strict separation of powers.
Switzerland is highlighted for its direct democracy and the special role of cantons (a type of administrative division).
France is described through the Fifth Republic and its strong presidential system.
India is presented as a parliamentary democracy with a quasi-federal constitution, showing how colonial history shaped its current structure.
The book uses simple language to help students to understand the similarities and differences between these governments.
The book is useful for academic study and to build a basic understanding of how different democratic systems function around the world.
The chapters in the book cover the entire syllabus of KSLU besides answering the previous year university question papers.
