Bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and entirely surrounded by the Sahara Desert, Libya is a sparsely populated country that was once part of the Roman province of New Africa. While the Somme region covers almost 680,000 square miles, the population is close to just 5.6 million, appearing in a low community frequency of 9.4 people per square mile. Libya has a parliamentary government. A parliamentary democracy is a form of democratic government in which the party with the largest representation in parliament (legislature) forms the government. So instead of having a separation of powers as is the case here in the United States, the Libyan government has its powers consolidated into one main section. Executive actions are managed by representatives of parliament selected by the prime minister in the cabinet. Minority parties attribute hostility to the majority and have to challenge it regularly. The Prime Minister can sometimes be removed from power if he fails to obtain the assurance of the majority of the majority party or Parliament. How does the Libyan constitution differ from the one we have here in the United States? On the one hand, according to the Libyan constitution, their president has no power, while in the US constitution it says that the executive branch has been placed in a way to ensure that he gets power equal to that of others branches. The Libyan constitution contains thirty-five amendments while the American constitution contains only seven. The United States has two major parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Republicans accept that everyone commits to defending their own position in the Commonwealth. The government should give all human beings the strength to protect ...... middle of paper ...... etation of the constitution. They supervise the operation of other federal courts. In Libya, all law is established on the Koran. The judicial system consists of the trial courts, the courts of appeal and the final appellate level, and finally the Supreme Court. There are still radical courts and military courts. They operate outside the regular justice system and cause political violations and atrocities across the state.
