The false statement when comparing the political systems of the United States and Great Britain is:
**"Both countries contain three branches of government with equal amounts of power."**
In the United States, the government is divided into three branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) that have separate powers and responsibilities, with a system of checks and balances. In contrast, Great Britain primarily operates under a parliamentary system where the executive branch (the Prime Minister and the Cabinet) is drawn from the legislature (Parliament), and thus, the separation of powers is not as pronounced. The branches do not have equal amounts of power in the same way they do in the U.S. system.
