Political system of the United States
The executive branch is headed by the President and is formally independent of both the legislature and the judiciary. The cabinetserves as a set of advisers to the President. They include the Vice President and heads of the executive departments. Legislative poweris vested in the two chambers of Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The judicial branch (or judiciary), composed of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, exercises judicial power. The judiciary's function is to interpret the United States Constitution and federal laws and regulations. This includes resolving disputes between the executive and legislative branches. The federal government's structure is codified in the Constitution.
Two political parties, the Democratic Partyand the Republican Party, have dominatedAmerican politics since the American Civil War, although smaller parties exist such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and the Constitution Party. Generally, the Democratic Party is commonly known as the center-leftliberal party within the United States, while the Republican Party is commonly known as the United States center right conservative party.
There are a few major differences between the political system of the United States and that of most other developed democracies. These include greater power in the upper house of the legislature, a wider scope of power held by the Supreme Court, the separation of powers between the legislature and the executive and the dominance of only two main parties. Third parties have less political influence in the United States than in other democratically run developed countries; this is because of a combination of stringent historic controls. These controls take shape in the form of state and federal laws, informal media prohibitions and winner-take-allelections and include ballot access issues and exclusive debate rules. There have been five United States presidential elections in which the winner lost the popular vote
