Question

How do the physical setup of the U.S. Capitol and the British Parliament reflect differences in the two types of government?

Answer 1

The main differences are that the British Parliament exists at the same time as the Monarchy, and because of that there is a chair called “Throne” especially for the queen and there are benches for bishops. The Capitol does not have the same physical set up because there is no monarchy in America. In the front of the Senate there is the Vice President of the US and in Front of the House is the Speaker of the House

• The United States is a Federation and the Great Britain is a Unitary State, this difference is the main reason between the US Capitol and the British Parliament. The US Capitol is the building that holds the two chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate, because this was the way that the Framers had to settle representation of the States. The system was built so a small group can prevent the majority from passing laws and encourages the debate.
• The British Parliament is made of two chambers the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons is publicly elected. The House of Lords, known as the upper house is not elected, the membership is granted by appointment or by heredity or official function. Another difference is that the Parliament makes possible the quick turn because it makes possible frequent elections.

Answer 2

Because one is bigger and has a much better support than the other
