form of government - an important issue such disciplines as "Theory of State and Law."Their two.It is about the monarchy and the republic.In this case we are interested in the republic.What is its main difference from the monarchy?Yes, in fact, that in this type of reign supreme bodies of state power are elected.That is, power is not inherited.
Head of State refers to the highest organ of state power, which means that when republican form of government, he is also elected for a fixed term.It is important to note that it is not always elect the people - often the election made by the representative body.
Generally a featured republican form of government should include the dependence of power from the voters, the election of its limited terms of office of elected officials.
Republic, in turn, may be presidential, parliamentary, or mixed.Note that the mixed further divided into several subtypes.Disassemble them, we will not, because we are interested in the signs of a presidential republic.
Presidential republic
It is characterized by the important role of the President in the system of state authorities.Presidential republic - a republic in which the president is not only head of state but also head of the government.
This republic is often called dualistic.In this case, the emphasis is on the fact that a strong legislature representative body resists the executive, wholly owned by the head of state.
In the presidential election of the president of the republic is carried out voters themselves or members of the electoral college.After the election of the head of state appoints the members of the government.He has the right to include in the executive body of the very people whom he wants.In this country there is no such position as head of government (federal chancellor, the prime minister, and so on).
Its feature lies in the fact that the parliament can not be dissolved by the head of state, but parliament itself can not limit the actions of the government and the president.However, in exceptional cases, to limit the actions of the past Parliament still can.
head of state has the right to impose on the decision of the representative body of the suspensive veto.The vote of no confidence by Parliament shall be made by voting.It may be imposed and the government.This procedure is complex and has a lot of their nuances.The parliamentary republic all this made much easier.
Generally distinguish presidential republic can on the following grounds:
- head of government elected by extra-parliamentary means;
- government is responsible only to the head of state.In this case, it is not accountable to the representative body;
- Head of State has sweeping powers.
presidential republic is characterized in that the head of state:
- has the right to disperse them by the established government;
- directly involved in the appointment of Supreme Court justices;
- is the supreme commander;
- presides over the government;
- signs laws.
Presidential republic - is Poland, France, Austria and many other countries.Many people still mistakenly believe that Russia - a presidential republic.Why is it wrong?Firstly, because in our country there is such a position as head of government.We called it the Prime Minister.It was this man, and not the president heads the government.Assigned to it, of course, the head of state, but only with the approval of Parliament.What is the Russian republic?Our country - the semi-presidential system.To be more precise - a presidential-parliamentary.
