To determine which statement is false when comparing the political systems of the United States and Great Britain, let's analyze each statement and its accuracy:
Statement 1: Both contain a Supreme Court that exists within the Judicial Branch.
This statement is true. Both the United States and Great Britain have a Supreme Court that exists within their respective Judicial Branches. In the case of the United States, the Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority, while in Great Britain, it is the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.
Statement 2: Both systems have political parties.
This statement is true. Both the United States and Great Britain have political parties. In the United States, the two major parties are the Democrats and Republicans, while Great Britain has multiple parties, including the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats, and others.
Statement 3: Both countries provide protection for the rights and freedoms of citizens.
This statement is true. Both the United States and Great Britain provide protections for the rights and freedoms of their citizens. In the United States, these protections are outlined in the Bill of Rights, while in Great Britain, they are safeguarded by various laws and legal principles.
Statement 4: Both countries contain three branches of government with equal amounts of power.
This statement is false. While both the United States and Great Britain have three branches of government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial), they do not have equal amounts of power. In the United States, the system of checks and balances established by the Constitution ensures that each branch has separate and distinct powers, while in Great Britain, there is a fusion of powers primarily between the Legislative and Executive branches.
Therefore, the false statement is: "Both countries contain three branches of government with equal amounts of power."
