What is the similarities between indian democracy and the United States democracy
Answers
Answer:
Similarities:
Both India and United States have three primary branches - Publicly elected executive, legislative assembly and an Independent Judiciary.
They both follow the Federal structure where a Federal government is in charge of National and international matters like Foreign Policy, Currency Regulation, Taxation, Armed Forces, etc. while the State Government governs local and regional subjects.
They both follow the Democratic/Constitutional Republic form of government. In such a democracy, the government is formed by the elected representatives that are directly chosen by the people. They govern within an existing constitutional framework.
The Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution guarantees fundamental rights such as right to equality, freedom, right to exploitation, freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, right to property, and so does Article 14-34 of the Indian Constitutions
Differences:
Political Parties -
USA: There are only two main Political parties in the United States - the Conservative Political right GOP and the liberal Political left Democratic Party.
India: India also has two major national Parties - INC and BJP, but hundreds of other regional parties dominate the political spectrum
Head of the State
USA - The President is the elected head of the State in the United States. Citizens cast their ballot in every state to choose the members of the U.S. electoral college (popular vote) who in turn cast electoral votes to determine the President. The number of Electoral votes is equal to the combined number of members of the Congress and Senate. This process makes it technically possible for a Presidential Candidate to win the popular vote but lose the electoral votes. The 2016 and 2000 Presidential elections are a case in point.
India - The President is the constitutional head of the state, but the Prime-minister is the elected head of the government. The executive authority, therefore, rests with the President but exercised by the Prime-minister in his name. Neither the President or the Prime-minister are elected directly by the people. The people of India cast their vote every five years to chose their Loksabha (Lower House) representative. The party with majority seats in the Loksabha then gets invited by the President to form the government. The chosen leader of the party holding the majority becomes the Prime-minister. Hence, it is possible that the Prime-minister may not be the member of the Parliament at the time of his appointment, but he is required to attain the membership through elections within six months.
Government:
USA - The Presidency is not dependent on his or her party's strength in the Congress. It is perfectly possible to have a Democrat president but a Republican-controlled Congress. The President is elected for a four-year term and remains in office unless incapacitated or impeached.
India - Only party or coalition with the majority in Lower house can form the government. The government technically is appointed for a five-year term but can lose the mandate to govern if it fails to prove majority on the floor of the house in the event of a no-confidence motion. Such a situation leads to mid-term elections.
Cabinet:
USA - President nominates the members of his cabinet and sends them for the Senate confirmation by a simple majority. The Cabinet members could just be industry experts and need not be a member of the Congress.
India - The Prime Minister appoints cabinet members from his party or those supporting his coalition.
Legislative Body:
USA - Congress is the legislature of the United States with Senate and House being its two chambers. 100 Senators serve the staggered six-year term while the 435 members of the House serve two-year terms and are up for reelection every even year
India - Parliament is the legislature in India, and it comprises of the President, the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) and the Lower House (Lok Sabha). The citizens directly elect the members of Lok Sabha during the general elections. Members of Rajya Sabha, however, are elected by all the State legislative assemblies. There are 245 members in the Rajya Sabha chosen over a staggered six-year term with one-third of its member retiring every two years. Lok Sabha consists of 545 members.
