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 three branches of government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) were designed to have separate powers and checks and balances. In contrast, Great Britain's system (Parliamentary system) does not have an equivalent separation of powers; the executive branch (the Prime Minister and the Cabinet) is drawn from the legislative branch (Parliament). Therefore, the powers are not equal in the same way they are in the U.S. system.
