    When comparing the communist nation of China with the democratic nation of Australia many differences are apparent. The application of the legislative (law making and modifying function), executive (administrative function) and judiciary (law enforcing and dispute resolving function) is vastly different between the two nations as can see when we compare and contrast the underlying principles of each system of government. Firstly, both nations claim to uphold the concept of the rule of law, although due to corruptive forces surrounding the Chinese court system, this concept is often thwarted and equality before the law is not upheld. Within the constitutions of both nations the basic principles of separation of powers have been applied; however on examination of the practice of separation within the nations we find that convention (in the case of Australia) and the corruptive influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have not allowed such separation. Finally, the representation of the people by each nation’s governments will be compared through examining contrasting election and law making practices. With reference to the three arms of government, the comparisons made between the underlying principles of both China and Australia’s systems of government will support the understanding that democratic nations are a government of the people, by the people, for the people; making them just, whilst communist nations often struggle to provide the same justice and citizen involvement in their political process.…

    Today, the two most prominent forms of government are the Parliamentary form of government, often known as the Westminster system seen in the commonwealth nations; and the Presidential form of government seen in the United States. Throughout the years, many debates have been discussed over the question of which form is better; no definitive answer has ever come forward, for the exception that they are both quite different in theory and in practice. Principally, the difference among them is the separation power seen in the Presidential system, and the coexistence of power seen in the Parliamentary system; represented chiefly by party discipline. However, more than this difference alone separates the two. Both forms of government are characterized by how their power is distributed, how laws are created and chosen, party discipline and also the responsibility of each Head of State. Each system has its own dynamic and ever-changing functionality, creating advantages and disadvantages for each system.1…
