America

Katheryn Kidd

The American government is different from the governments of other nations. America has a written constitution, and many other countries do not. We have more freedom than other countries do. America is concerned with the rights of its peoples. Not all countries are. Our American government has lasted a very long time. This may be because our constitution is a good document and has created a good and just government.

Our constitution is fairly short. It is detailed enough to make the system work but short enough to be accessible. America is a republic, and always has been, so it is rule by law. It was born out of a need of fairness and freedom. It determines how laws will be made and how they will be kept and how they can be changed. It is also flexible so that as the needs of the people change so does the government.

There are many different types of government. There are republics, democracies, dictatorships, and communism. But no other government is like America's. Other republics or democracies have severe taxes, which go to free healthcare, and education but, you don't get to make many decisions. Some countries have no leader or government at all, and are in complete chaos. Or they do have leaders or governments but they are corrupt and sometimes violent.

America is different from all of the other countries. It is "the land of the free and home of the brave” and no other country can say that. America has a just and flexible government and a strong constitution to keep it running smoothly.
