Answer 1

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 structured with three branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) that have distinct powers and are designed to provide checks and balances on each other, with an emphasis on equal power among them.

In Great Britain, however, the system is parliamentary, meaning that the executive branch (the Prime Minister and the cabinet) is derived from the legislative branch (Parliament) and does not function with the same degree of separation of powers. Therefore, the branches do not hold equal amounts of power in the same way that they do in the U.S. system.
