1 answer

Great Britain and Germany both have governments, but they work in different ways.

Great Britain:

  • Has a parliamentary system.
  • The Prime Minister is the leader and is chosen by members of Parliament.
  • The Parliament makes laws and is made up of two groups: the House of Commons (elected by people) and the House of Lords (appointed and some inherit their positions).

Germany:

  • Has a federal parliamentary system too, but it's a bit different.
  • The Chancellor is the leader and is also chosen by the Parliament, which is called the Bundestag.
  • Germany has a President, but this role is more like a figurehead with less power.

Similarities:

  • Both countries have a Parliament that makes laws.
  • Both have a leader (Prime Minister in Britain, Chancellor in Germany) chosen by Parliament.

Differences:

  • Great Britain has a monarchy (a king or queen) that is mostly symbolic.
  • Germany has a President who has less power than the Chancellor.

In short, both countries have similar government structures but differ in their leaders and the roles of their monarchies.
