The US federal court system begins with district courts that hear both civil and criminal cases.

This document provides an overview of the United States government and political system. It discusses the founding principles established in key documents like the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. The three branches of government - legislative, executive, and judicial - are described along with their roles and structures. For example, Congress is described as the legislative branch made up of the House and Senate. The presidency is outlined as the head of the executive branch. Important historical events, figures, and court cases are also mentioned, such as the founding fathers and the Dred Scott decision.
The British constitution is not set out in a single document but rather has evolved over many years through a combination of written laws, court rulings, conventions and traditions. It serves several functions including distributing power, protecting freedoms, defining limits on government, and providing stability. Unlike other nations like the US, the British constitution is partly written and uncodified, with sources scattered across documents, and can be amended through regular acts of parliament rather than a special process. Recent constitutional reforms under New Labour focused on areas like the House of Lords, devolution, freedom of information and human rights.

One iconic landmark located within the parliament building grounds is the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben, built in 1858.

The President of the United States is elected every four years through a complex process outlined in the Constitution. Candidates must be at least 35 years old, a natural born US citizen, and have lived in the country for at least 14 years. Political parties choose their nominees through state primaries and caucuses. In the general election, voters select "electors" who then vote for President in the Electoral College. Whichever candidate wins the most popular votes in a state receives all of its electors. If no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President.
American political parties have evolved over time from informal affiliations to established organizations. The US system is largely a two-party structure, with the Democratic and Republican parties dominating. Democrats tend to favor an active government role in citizens' lives and progressive change. Republicans prefer a smaller government focused on individual liberties and tradition. While third parties exist, the winner-take-all electoral system favors the two major parties. Political ideologies and party affiliations develop based on social and personal factors.
Montesquieu developed the theory of separation of powers which proposes that a government's power be divided into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. This prevents any one branch from holding absolute power. In his writings, Montesquieu argued the executive and legislative powers should be separate to protect liberty. Checks and balances allow each branch to limit the others' power. Bangladesh follows this model with Parliament (legislative), the Prime Minister and Cabinet (executive), and the Supreme Court (judicial). However, complete separation is difficult and some criticize that it can hinder efficient administration.
