STATE SYSTEM  пересказ

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one of the six constitutional (or parliamentary) monarchies within the European Community. The British Constitution is unwritten and is not contained in any single document. It is based on Acts of Parliament (laws).

The system of state power includes three branches: Parliament, which makes Saws (the legislative branch); the government, which puts laws into effect (the executive branch); and the law courts, which interpret Acts of Parliament (the judicial branch). The monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, who succeeded to the throne in 1952, is officially head of all three branches. Everything is done in the Queen's name. It is her government, her law courts, her armed forces and so on. She appoints all the Ministers, including the Prime Minister. Everything is done however on the advice of the elected government, and the monarch takes no part in the decision-making process. So it is often said that the Queen reigns but does not rule.

The centre of British politics is Parliament, consisting of the House of Commons and the House of Lords and the Queen as its head. Parliament is known as "Westminster", since it is housed in the Palace of Westminster, once a home of the monarchy. Like the monarchy, Parliament is an ancient institution, dating from 1265. It is the oldest Parliament in the world, that is why Great Britain is known as Mother of Parliaments.

Parliament's functions today are to raise money for government through taxation; to examine government policy, administration and spending; to discuss important political questions. But the main function is making laws. A bill (a proposal for a new law) may be introduced by any member of Parliament. But in practice most bills are proposed by the government. When both Houses agree on a text after debating, the bill is sent to the Queen for her Royal Assent, at which point it becomes an Act of Parliament. A bill which has been passed by the House of Commons is almost certain to become law, and about fifty bills become Acts each year. The Lords can only delay the process but cannot stop bills from becoming Acts. The Royal Assent is a formality: no monarch has refused a bill since 1707.

The House of Lords consists of more than 1,000 hereditary and life peers (who are not elected and not paid a salary). But only about 250 take an active part in the work of the House, including the Lords Spiritual (26 bishops of the Church of England) and the Lords Temporal, who undertake the judicial duties. (The chamber also works as the highest and final Court of Appeal). The chairman of the House of Lords is Lord Chancellor, who sits on a special seat called the Woolsack (a symbol of British welfare). The monarch's throne is in the Lords. The Queen sits on it once a year to make her speech at the opening of a new session of Parliament (concerning the government's broad programme).

The House of Commons consists of 659 members known as Members of Parliament (MPs for short). Each of them represents an area in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. MPs are elected by the adult population at a general election every five years. The head of the Commons is the Speaker.

The British parliamentary system depends on political parties. (Nowadays the Conservative and the Labour Parties dominate in the UK). The political parties choose candidates in elections. The party which wins the majority of seats in the House of Commons forms the government (about 100 ministers), and its leader usually becomes Prime Minister. The Prime Minister chooses about 20 MPs from his or her party to become the Cabinet of Ministers. The nucleus of the government, the Cabinet acts as one body with 'collective responsibility'. It meets at №10, Downing Street (the Prime Minister's residence), and its discussions are secret. All major decisions of the government are made by the Cabinet. Therefore, it is the Cabinet that forms government policy.

The Prime Minister has considerable individual power to introduce and control policies, to represent the nation in political matters, to run the government, to appoint Cabinet Ministers and to change the Cabinet. The Prime Minister also continues to lead the majority party. The second largest party becomes the official opposition with its own leader and "Shadow cabinet".

Supreme legislative power in the American government is US Congress. It consists of two houses - the Senate and the House of Representatives. The main task of Congress is to make laws. The US Senate has some special pow ers, not given to the House of Representatives. The Senate approves or disapproves major Presidential appointments of such high officials as ambassadors, Cabinet members, and federal judges. The Senate must also ratify, by a two-thirds vote, treaties between the USA and foreign countries. The House of Representatives has a special power of its own. Only a member of the House can introduce a bill to raise money, but it must be passed by the Senate before it can become a law.

The Senate.

The Senate consists of 100 members, two from each of the 50 States, who are elected for a term of six years. Congressional elections take place every two years but only one -third of the Senate is re-elected.

The Constitution says that a Senator must be at least 30 years old, a citizen of the US for nine years and a resident of the state from which he is elected. The individual seats in the Senate are numbered. Democrats sit in the western part - on Vice-President's right. Republicans sit on his left. Vice-President presides over the Senate and he conducts debates. The Senate is more conservative than the House of Representatives, as many Senators are re-elected several times and often they are more experienced politicians.

The House of Representatives.

The House, at the present time, has 435 members. The number of Representatives which each state sends to the House depends on its population. The Constitution says that each state, no matter h®w small in population, must have at least one Representative.

A Representative must be at least 25 years of age, a US citizen for seven years and live in the state from which he is elected. Congressmen of the House of Representatives do not have individual seats, by tradition Democrats sit on the Speaker's right, Republicans - on his left. The Speaker presides over the House, he conducts debates. The Speaker, like Vice-President in the Senate, may vote, but usually he does not do it.
