[|Scout's British Example] I selected this website to show how other countries govern their people. Not all countries have to have the American form to succeed. The British still have a monarchy put in place, even though they do not pass laws anymore, they do still have the job of approving the bills. The French form of government holds all the power in the country. Whereas, the Canadian system mirrors that of the American. This article also discusses the Mexican government as well. Looking at other types of government will make it possible to better understand our own. Even though America is one of the newest countries, our allies have been changing and better their governments since ours was creating; making them stronger and more reliable.
