What kind of government?
| What kind of government? I am doing a research project for class about different countries political systems. What kind of government do Uruguay have in place? |
| The current President of Uruguay is a medical doctor. He still does some work as such and does rounds at one of the hospitals. |
| What grade are you in, in school? I think this is a great project! How much are grammar and writing going to count in your project? |
| I am a freshmen in college. Yes, grammar and writing plays a big part in the project. |
| Wow, that's interesting! I guess the rules are different in other countries. I'm surprised that he can still hold a demanding job like being a doctor and still run the country. I see this is going to be an interesting paper. |
| Uruguay's politics takes place in a framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President of Uruguay is both head of state and head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of the General Assembly of Uruguay. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. You can check out online journals to get a better lead for your paper. |
| Voting is mandatory, I believe. |
| it's federal repubic the gov that brazil has :)))))))))))) |
| Linda is right: voting is mandatory. At least on the voting procedures established by the Constitution (elections, plebiscites and referenda). Krisha: I still don't get what Brazil has to do with this topic. Anyhow, you're right: Brazil is a federal republic. So much that the official name is Federative Republic of Brazil. |
| Voting is mandatory, but the fine is small if you don't vote. The fine is collected because for somethings you need to show proof that you voted. If you don't have your voting receipt then you need to go and pay the fine and that receipt will work. Do you think mandatory voting results in better candidates being elected? Does it increase the quality of the politicans? Does it really change the outcome of an election or the quality of life for the people? |
| I think that if voting was mandatory, the US would get better results. There are so many people that dont vote because they say they dont like any of the candidates. Well guess what, one of them is going to be president whether you like it or not. If the government made it mandatory to vote, the people who dont want to vote will have to pick the person they would want to run the country. |
| I agree with Michael. People in America should also want to have a say so on what happens to their country. |
| Uruguay is a democratic constitutional republic. The presidency is determined by a popular vote. The elected president, who is both chief of state and head of government, serves a five-year term. The vice president is elected on the same party ticket. The president appoints the thirteen cabinet ministers who head executive departments. The legislative body is the General Assembly, bicameral with an upper chamber of thirty senators and a lower chamber of ninety-nine representatives. The legislators are also elected to five-year terms through the popular vote. Here is the link for more details. |
| Gentlemen, What are the requirements to become a citizen of Uruguay ! If you acn e-mail me the information that would be great, thank you for your help and I will await your e-mail. Mr. John F. Hurley |
| Mr Hurley I have moved your question to a new thread as it will confuse the topic of this conversation which is about the political system in Uruguay. Please try to stay within the topic or post a new question as more specific conversation threads help people find the answers they need. Thank You |
