The main role of the Queen is to pass legislations, which have to go through a process, called royal assent. The royal assent is processed once a legislation/bill has been completed through all of the parliamentary stages in both House of Commons and House of Lords; the royal assent means that the Queen formally agrees to make the legislation/bill into an act of Parliament. The Queen has to have weekly meetings with the Prime minister in which she has the right and duty to discus and express her views on all the current Government matters. The communications between the Queen and Prime Minister are to be remained strictly confidential and once the Queen has expressed her views, she will abides by the advice of her

The House of Lords shares the task with House of Commons of making and shaping new laws and then checking and challenging the work of the Government. The Members of the House of Lords spend more than half of their time in the House considering draft laws, whilst the draft is going through both stages of each House, the House of Lords examines each bill before it can become an Act of Parliament (law). The House of Lords also has 2 members of the
They're 3 levels of government in the United Sates & each level has its own individuals who represent certain districts throughout the country. The 3 levels are local, state and federal. Unfortunately a vast majority of the people who live in the community are completely lost when you ask them what the job of their representative is , or even who they are.
The central government is normally located in the capital city; which in our case it’s London. The central government runs the whole country by taking up the most important responsibilities that any other government levels in the UK has. These responsibilities are making new laws, signing agreements with the other nations and also defending the nation. The central government has these responsibilities as it’s the main government within the UK and it contains the 3 political institutions which make up parliament which are: the House of Commons, and the House of Lords and the monarch. These institutions work together. The house of commons creates new laws which they feel will work well for the British community. The house of lords has a
For the smooth and efficient running of the country and the public services there are different organizations and branches of government at every level. This ensures that the country runs in a manner that is the most efficient and there are no hurdles in the management of the country and the various services that are required for its citizens.
There are many different levels of government which exist and have a direct or indirect impact on people’s lives.
The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK Parliament and is independent to the Commons although it complements the work of the Commons. Members of the Lords play a vital role in scrutiny, there are two main reasons for this, the first being that they are independent to the Commons and in many ways have increased power which they often use to stand up to the Commons by blocking reforms. Lords also have a better balance of parties so no government has a majority. The Government however can override Lords by using Parliament Act; this was used when the fox hunting ban was being put through under Blair’s government as there were too many in opposition of the ban in the House of Lords. The Parliament Acts, although rarely used, provide a way of solving disagreement between the Commons and the Lords. The Parliament Act of 1949 also prevents Lords from delaying bills for more than one year.
A United States House Representative plays a major role in the legislative process. In order for laws to be made, it first requires a representative to sponsor a bill, which is just a proposed idea for a law. Any representative is able to introduce a bill. Once sponsored, the bill moves forward to be studied and reviewed by a special committee. The next step after the committee has concluded the review is for the bill to be scheduled for either voting, debating, or amendments made by the House. If the bill is passes by a majority of the votes (218 of 435) from the House, the bill moves directly to the Senate, where it is again assigned to another committee, this time from members of the Senate, where it is reviewed, debated and voted on. If the bill here receives a majority vote (51 out of 100), it then is moved forward to the a special conference committee compiled of Senate and House members where a final proposal for the bill is made and then returns back to the House and Senate for approval. Once completed at the House and Senate levels, the bill then enrolled and sent to the President to be signed or vetoed within ten days.
The Queen, who is represented by the Governor General, is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of Government.

A monarchy is a form of government in which a single individual holds all the power in government. Since 1918 Britain has been governed in a Democratic system but held a lot of the same customs that it had when it was a monarchy (like a royal family etc.). Canada was a part of the British Monarchy when it was still around and unfortunately is still a part of the monarchy system that remains in Britain today. In 1867 the British North America Act was established and formed the Dominion of Canada by Queen Victoria. Since then Canada has grown to have its own customs and traditions but Britain’s crown is unitary throughout all jurisdictions in Canada. Queen Elizabeth the second is the sovereign of Canada she is the head of state; she must
