The United States of Mexico is a federal presidential republic. The Constitution of 1917 is in force with numerous amendments. Executive power belongs to the president, who is the head of state and government. The President forms the cabinet, appoints and removes ministers, the Attorney General (with the approval of the Senate), members of the Supreme Court (with the approval of the Senate) and other senior public servants. The President determines domestic and foreign policy, has legislative initiative and veto power, establishes diplomatic relations and concludes international treaties. The president is elected by the people on the basis of universal, direct, secret ballot, without the right to re-election. Legislative power belongs to the bicameral National Congress. The principles of public administration in accordance with the 1917 Constitution meet the criteria for representative liberal democracy.
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy. The constitution was adopted in 1849; amendments were made in 1915 and 1953, when a unicameral parliament was created and women were allowed to become head of state. The head of state is the king, who exercises legislative power together with a unicameral parliament. The highest legislative body is Folketing. Executive power belongs to the monarch and is carried out on his behalf by the government. The government is appointed by the Prime Minister, approved by Folketing and is accountable to him.
Thus, the similarity is the fact that in Mexico the president and in Denmark the king determine domestic and foreign policy. However, the difference is obvious, primarily consisting in the very form of government - the republic and the monarchy, respectively, with all the further differences that follow from this.

The White League, also known as the White Man's League was a white paramilitary organization started in the Southern United States in 1874 to kick Republicans out of office and intimidate freedmen from voting and politically organizing. Affiliated with the Democratic Party, its first chapter was formed in Grant Parish, Louisiana and neighboring parishes, made up of many of the Confederate veterans who had participated in the Colfax massacre in April 1873. Chapters were soon founded in New Orleans and other areas of the state The Red Shirts was a similar group that formed chapters in Mississippi and the Carolinas. Active during the later years of Reconstruction, these paramilitary groups were described as "the military arm of the Democratic Party." Through violence and intimidation of blacks and allied whites, their members suppressed Republican voting and contributed to the Democrats' taking control of the Louisiana Legislature in 1876 (and to Democratic control in other southern states).After white Democrats regained control of the state legislature in 1876, members of the White Leagues were absorbed into the state militias and the National Guard.
