Goverment of England

  • The United Kingdom is both a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Today the monarch Queen Elizabeth II is head of state but elected officials hold true political leadership through Parliament. The house of commons is the main legislative body. It has 659 members, 529 of whom are from England. Parliament's upper chamber in the house of lords, which has 1,200 members. the chamber's chief legislation, which in practice simply delays it.
  • The government in England has a check and balance system.
  • England is repressive through National Health Services.
  • In the past the government was ran by kings only. Now it is ran by a parliament democracy and a constitutional monarchy. The major reasons for the change is because they didn't want a dictatorship.
