Question

like a 6th grader wrote it A new student is joining your class today. You want to help them catch up with the material that they missed from this lesson. Write a summary paragraph about the governments of Latin America based on information from this text. Be sure to state each type of government used in Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba. Include the title and the role of the leader in each of these governments as well as how the leader is chosen for this role. Also, include information about the role of the citizen in the governments of each of these three countries.

Answer 1

A new student joined today, so here is a short summary about the governments of Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba. Mexico is a federal presidential republic. The leader is the President of Mexico, who is the head of the country and runs the national government; the president is chosen by a nationwide popular vote and serves one six‑year term. Citizens in Mexico vote for the president, for lawmakers, and for local leaders and take part in elections. Brazil is a federative presidential republic. The leader is the President of Brazil, who is head of state and head of government and works with Congress to make laws; the president is elected by the people (often in a two-round vote) for a four‑year term and can be re-elected once. Citizens in Brazil vote in national and local elections (and many people are required by law to vote) and choose their representatives. Cuba is a one‑party socialist state led by the Communist Party. The formal leader is the President of Cuba (and the most powerful person is also usually the First Secretary of the Communist Party); this leader is chosen by the National Assembly rather than by a direct popular presidential vote, and the Communist Party plays a central role in choosing candidates. Citizens in Cuba vote for members of the National Assembly and local councils, but the party controls most candidate selection so there are fewer party choices than in Mexico or Brazil.
