(2014) The Canadian Political System: A Comparative Perspective (2.03 MB)
This document compares the political systems of Canada and the United States. It outlines that both countries share common principles like the Magna Carta, representative democracy, and federalism. However, their constitutions, forms of government, and approaches to issues differ in important ways. Canada has a parliamentary system where the prime minister is the head of government, while the US has a presidential system. They also take different stances on issues like health care, immigration, and participation in wars. The document aims to highlight both the similarities and differences between the political landscapes of Canada and the US.

This lecture is designed for first year students of English, and for anyone interested in a simple explanation of what is at stake in current political debates in America
Voting systems in elections
This document discusses different voting systems used in elections, including first-past-the-post, supplementary vote, additional vote, and single transferable vote systems. First-past-the-post is used for UK House of Commons elections, where voters select one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins. Proportional representation systems aim to allocate seats proportionally based on votes. The supplementary vote and additional vote systems allow voters to rank candidates, while single transferable vote uses multi-member constituencies and transfers votes from eliminated candidates.
US political system
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.
Us political system
The document provides background information on the American political system, including key events like the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the writing of the US Constitution. It then summarizes the main principles and structure of the Constitution, outlining the separation of powers and checks and balances between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches as defined in Articles I-III. The summary also notes that James Madison is considered the key author and discusses reasons like weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation that led to the writing of the new Constitution.
Article Two of the Constitution
The document outlines several powers given to the executive branch under Article 2 of the Constitution. It discusses that the President and Vice President lead the executive branch and are responsible for enforcing the nation's laws. It also describes how the President is elected through the Electoral College system every 4 years, and explains some of the qualifications to be President, such as being a natural born citizen over 35 years old. Finally, it summarizes several key powers of the President, such as being commander-in-chief of the military, negotiating treaties, appointing judges and ambassadors, and delivering the State of the Union address.
Development of Political Parties (9.1)
Political parties serve as linkage institutions by allowing citizens to influence government through their ideas. Thomas Jefferson preferred more state power and trusted citizens over leaders, while Alexander Hamilton preferred national power and distrusted citizens. The Democratic Party traces its roots to Jefferson and populism, while the Republican Party was founded to end slavery. Third parties seek to influence major parties rather than win elections, and include ideological, single-issue, economic protest, and splinter parties. The U.S. two-party system has pros and cons compared to one-party and multi-party systems.
Uk political system
The United Kingdom has a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. The Prime Minister is the head of government and executive power is exercised through the monarch and devolved governments in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Legislative power is held by the bicameral UK Parliament and devolved assemblies. The judiciary is independent and the Supreme Court is the highest court. The UK has a multi-party system dominated by the Conservative and Labour parties.

Presidential Elections in the United States
I put together this slide set for my classmates at USC in the International Public Policy and Management Program (IPPAM) in the Price School of Public Policy. As most are foreign nationals, they wanted to learn more about our Presidential elections. It was a great refresher for myself as well. Feel free to enjoy and share.
the US (United States) : Comparative Political Systems
This is the vital assignment for IPE239 Comparative Political Systems, IPED Prpgram, Rangsit University. The course part aims at providing an introduction to the field of comparative politics. Various theoretical perspectives and basic concepts within the field are taken up. The political systems of a number of countries - in relation to formal political institutions and informal aspects of the political order - are presented, discussed and compared. Issues of identity as well as the position of nation states in a global context are also dealt with. The course part includes an introduction to comparative method and sources of knowledge about political systems.
Political Parties
Political parties perform several key functions in American democracy including nominating candidates, organizing campaigns, informing voters on issues, and conducting governmental business if in power. The US has historically had a two-party system dominated by the Democratic and Republican parties, though third parties have influenced issues over time. Party identification among voters and party eras defined by the dominant party have shifted throughout US history.
Organization of American Political Parties
Demonstrating a wide range of concepts, this slideshow describes the structure of political parties from the national organization down to the grassroots, as well as explaining the primary process
Political parties ideology
The Conservative Party adheres to conservative philosophies of maintaining the status quo and gradual change. One Nation Conservatism from the 20th century promoted welfare and social harmony. Thatcherism in the 1970s rejected consensus and promoted free markets. Cameron advocated compassionate conservatism and local control. The Labour Party was founded on socialist ideals of public ownership and workers' rights. Old Labour was union-dominated while New Labour under Blair distanced itself from unions and promoted moderate social democratic policies. Miliband has criticized New Labour and advocates a stronger state role in the economy.
Week 4: Constitution
The British constitution is an uncodified system comprised of written and unwritten rules. It has adapted over time through incremental reforms rather than by replacing the existing framework. Recent reforms have included devolving some powers to Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland; incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights; and establishing independent electoral authorities. However, parliamentary sovereignty, the concentration of power in Westminster, and an outdated electoral system remain ongoing weaknesses according to critics of the traditional British constitutional model.
Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States, taking office at the young age of 42 after President McKinley's assassination. He is known for his progressive reforms and assertive foreign policy, including constructing the Panama Canal and establishing the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. Roosevelt had a privileged early life but struggled with asthma. He later served as a lieutenant colonel and war hero in the Spanish-American War before becoming governor of New York and then president in 1901.
Topic 6 - Al-Mawardi
Al-Mawardi was an influential Islamic jurist, scholar, and political theorist from Baghdad. In his work Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyyah, he outlined the qualifications and duties of the caliph, or Islamic leader, including that the caliph must uphold justice, protect the faith, and ensure security, prosperity, and hope for the future. He discussed the appointment and roles of governors and ministers, the qualifications of voters in electing a caliph, and grounds for deposing a caliph if he loses his moral or physical abilities.
Judicial activism in Pakistan
The document discusses judicial activism and Pakistan's judicial system. It outlines the structure of Pakistan's courts, from the Supreme Court down to district courts and special tribunals. The Supreme Court has the power to overturn legislation and presidential orders. High Courts exist in each province and exercise appellate jurisdiction over lower courts. Alternative dispute resolution systems also exist outside the formal court structure. Recently, the Chief Justice has taken on high-profile cases related to corruption and criminal cases.
Executive in the arm of government
The executive body of a country consists of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, the Civil Service, and the Governor General. The Cabinet is comprised of the Prime Minister and selected ministers who meet weekly to discuss policies, laws, budgets, and other matters. Individual Cabinet members oversee responsibilities in their portfolio or ministry. The Prime Minister determines the Cabinet's composition and size, chooses members, and assigns responsibilities. The Civil Service serves as permanent government employees who implement the elected government's policies and serve citizens.
Electoral System
The document discusses issues with Canada's current first-past-the-post electoral system (FPTP) including that it can result in distorted results, wasted votes, and governments being formed without obtaining a majority of the popular vote. It provides examples from past Canadian elections to illustrate these issues. The document also discusses proportional representation systems and notes that many other modern democracies have adopted proportional representation instead of using antiquated FPTP systems like Canada's.
Comparison between 1956 and 1962 constitution
This document compares Pakistan's 1956 and 1962 constitutions. The 1956 constitution introduced a parliamentary form of government, direct elections, and executive power was held by the prime minister. It had three lists of subjects. The 1962 constitution replaced this with a presidential system, allowed indirect elections, gave the president greater power, and introduced Islamic institutions and a referendum system. It provided only two lists of subjects and established a Supreme Judicial Council. Overall, the two constitutions differed significantly in their forms of government and allocation of executive powers.
Voting Systems - First Past the Post
The document discusses representation in the UK Parliament and the First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system. It explains that FPTP involves voting for a candidate in each constituency, with the candidate receiving the most votes winning the seat. It provides the example of Fiona O'Donnell winning the East Lothian constituency for Labour in 2010. The document outlines some strengths of FPTP, such as simplicity and stability of government, as well as limitations, such as votes not translating directly to seats and smaller parties finding it difficult to gain representation.
The Political System of the USA
The United States has a strong federal government established by the Constitution. It consists of three branches - the legislative branch (Congress), the executive branch (President and Cabinet), and the judicial branch (Supreme Court and other federal courts). Congress makes the laws and controls finances, the President executes the laws and leads foreign policy, and the courts interpret the laws and Constitution.
Political Tolerance
This short document repeats the phrase "Hello Presentation with notes" three times, suggesting a very basic presentation was created with only an introductory title slide repeated multiple times and no other substantive content.
Gibbons v ogden
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ogden, finding that the Commerce Clause gives the federal government exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce such as navigation between states. The case established that any interstate commerce falls under federal jurisdiction rather than state control, setting an important precedent for federalism.
Usa Political System
The document provides an overview of the United States political system and Constitution. It describes how the Constitution created a unified government and separated it into three branches of government - executive, legislative, and judicial. It outlines some of the key articles and sections of the Constitution regarding the roles and compositions of Congress and the presidency. It also mentions symbols of the US like the flag, bald eagle, and national anthem.
Women in China
Women in China have experienced both progress and setbacks in their rights and social status over time. Confucian teachings traditionally promoted male dominance and subservience of women. During the Tang Dynasty women had increased land rights, divorce rights, and access to education, but these gains were reduced later on. The 20th century brought new laws aimed at protecting women's rights, though cultural norms have been difficult to change and China's one-child policy has had negative effects, including sex-selective abortion and abandonment of baby girls. Today women make up a large part of the workforce but often face poor conditions, especially in rural areas. Overall women's equality under the law has advanced but true social and cultural equality remains a work in
An evaluation of women status after thirty years of cedaw
This document provides an overview and analysis of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). It discusses key aspects of CEDAW such as its principles, significance, articles, and the role of the UN and Committee on CEDAW. It also summarizes CEDAW's impact on women's status and rights in several countries between 1979-2009. Finally, it analyzes CEDAW's approach, Bangladesh's reservations to CEDAW, and implementation of CEDAW in Bangladesh as it relates to women's socioeconomic status.

Status of women
This document compares the status and roles of women in Islam compared to other major religions such as Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Judaism. It outlines that in Islam, women are seen as equal to men and have rights similar to men. It then discusses how women's roles and status differ in these other religions, such as being seen as subordinate to men in Hinduism and having restricted duties in early Christianity and Buddhism when led by male religious leaders. It also notes how Judaism sees women as separate but equal with different obligations than men.
Rights of women
Women's rights and status in Islam are discussed from various perspectives in the document. It summarizes that under pre-Islamic traditions, women were often treated as property without rights. The Quran and hadiths established women's rights to property, inheritance, divorce, education, and participation in public life. Islam requires equitable treatment between men and women in religious and social roles. Hijab is explained as modest dress and behavior mandated by God to protect women's honor and define their identity, not restrict their freedom.
The role of women in society
The document discusses the roles and rights of women in 19th century British society. It notes that the most common jobs for women at the time were domestic servants, teachers, and nurses. Upper and middle class women were expected to be dependent on male relatives first as daughters and then as wives. Over time, laws were passed granting women more control over property and children in the case of divorce or separation. The document also outlines differences in the expected domestic roles of middle and upper class women at that time.
Gender equality
The document discusses the history of gender equality in the United States. It outlines how women historically had few rights and were treated as property. Key events in the fight for equality included women gaining the right to vote in 1920 and the feminist movement of the 1960s-70s advocating for reforms. Today, statistics show progress toward equality but also remaining issues like a gender pay gap and lack of paid family leave. The document uses these historical and current facts to introduce a discussion on ongoing gender issues.
Condition of women in India
The document summarizes the status of women in India throughout history. It notes that ancient texts suggest women had equal status to men in the early Vedic period, but their status began to decline around 500 BC. While women have held high government offices in modern India, they still face many social issues. The document provides timelines of important milestones for Indian women, such as Indira Gandhi becoming the first female Prime Minister in 1966 and Pratibha Patil becoming the first female President of India in 2007.
Status of women
The document discusses the status of women in India from ancient times to the present. It begins by noting that women had equal status with men in ancient India and held prominent positions, but their status deteriorated during the medieval period with the rise of practices like sati and child marriage. While women excelled in some fields, gender inequality increased under British colonial rule and the introduction of practices like purdah. Reformers in the 19th century worked to improve conditions for women. The document then outlines continuing issues related to health, education, employment, and violence facing women in India today despite constitutional guarantees of equality and women's advancement in some areas.

The document outlines some of the historical practices affecting women and ongoing concerns regarding their health, safety, and well-being.
Feminism
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining and establishing equal political, economic, and social rights for women. It has occurred in three waves, focusing on women's suffrage, gender equality, and continued issues of oppression, respectively. Feminism explores the interconnected nature of concepts like patriarchy, sexism, and women's status globally that contribute to women's inequality. It aims to challenge these systems through perspectives like liberal, radical, socialist, and postcolonial feminism.
Gender inequality presentation

National Women's History Museum is pleased to present a new mini exhibit featuring a few of the women who have run for president.
