'What kind of government?' Politics  

What kind of government?

Copeland from C-Town Hero -

I am doing a research project for class about different countries political systems. What kind of government do Uruguay have in place?

No trackbacks.

Comment #1 Lee from Pocitos -

The current President of Uruguay is a medical doctor. He still does some work as such and does rounds at one of the hospitals.

Comment #2 Feathers from A lovely boa -

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?

Comment #3 Copeland from C-Town Hero -

I am a freshmen in college. Yes, grammar and writing plays a big part in the project.

Comment #4 Copeland from C-Town Hero -

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.

Comment #5 Elizabeth26 from Dazeville -

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.

Comment #8 Santiago Torres (201.221.12.172) -

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.
