Parliamentary vs presidential

America’s governmental system mostly follows John Lockes’ idea about the dispersion of power. He believed that the concentration of power is more likely to be abused, thus the aim of the constitution should be to diffuse power, because it is less likely to be abused. Locke also believed that in diffusing the power the consequences would be a stronger liberty for each individual. The American constitution can be broken down into three categories of authority: executive- the president, legislative-the congress and judiciary-the court

The consequences of a diffused system such as the American government are: its hard to organize an opposing leader, its hard to point out who is responsible for any problems that arise, they end up playing the ‘blame game’. Large industries pay off the government to get decisions passed. And this all happens while the voters are left in the dark not knowing what is going on. Also, the American government does not function in favor of the citizen’s interests instead they are in favor of private interests; for example they do not have a secure health care system or educational system. $19.9 million working Americans cannot afford health care because there are so many different companies providing drugs at such high prices and there’s no health plan for the citizens. Another disadvantage of this system is the fact that the citizens without money and organization are left out in the cold without direction and without a chance for survival. This is because the government budget is allocated towards the military and elections instead of programs that will assist the citizens. This lack of social assistance widens the gap between the rich and the poor and increases inequality.

Overall the purpose of the dispersion of power is to increase liberty and decrease the likelihood of power to be abused. However, the main question is, is freedom really being enhanced? Well this depends on where you are in the social class system and whether or not the American Political System will benefit you. Therefore this system is only beneficial for certain people however; the parliamentary system adheres to most of the citizens needs and desires.
