Federalism, combined with the three governing branches, allowed for the states and central government to balance equal but separate power. Within this paper, I will attempt to explain the three branches of government, discuss the history and the formation of branches, provide their interactions within the system, discuss their successfulness, the characterizations of the branches then and now, and present possible ideas for a more efficient constitution. Before one can completely understand the sole purpose behind why the forefathers of the United States were compelled to form and divide a new government into three separate branches, one should become familiar with the meanings and functions of each branch. The Executive branch of the government is responsible for enforcing the laws of the land (USA.gov 2000-2012). The functions of law under the Executive branch, is administered and enforced by the United States President, who is first elected by the citizens of the country.
Should We Elect Are Senators? Why should decisions involving Canadians be made by people who are not elected by Canadians? If people will be making decisions for our country at least Canadians should be allowed to elect the people they choose to make all these choices for.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau kept Canada united by avoiding the separation of Quebec. Trudeau gave a very powerful speech on May 14, 1980 in Quebec.

Trudeau wanted French Canadians to feel more comfortable and to feel like they belonged to Canada by saying, “Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them (Trudeau)”.

Did you know that The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was set in place in 1982? The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is set in place to help protect the individual rights of Canadians. Within the Charter, Canadian citizens have many rights and freedoms, for example, the right to express their opinion, vote, move freely around Canada and to be free from discrimination. If the government enacts legislation to refute these rights and freedoms, as Canadians, we are able to take the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada to fight for our rights. Democratic rights give you the right to vote for members of the House of Commons and the provincial legislature.
Article Reflection: The west is in. Now what? The article, published in Maclean’s Magazine, focused on the rise of western Canada, how the region compares to other regions in Canada, and also how the provinces included in the west compare to one another. The article outlines the general mentality of the provinces in regards to voting patterns and culture, and dives further into detail regarding the wests overall role in Canada.

Thus, saving energy and benefiting public health. The report shows that social factors, namely quality of life, are impacted by Daylight Savings Time.
