Government,

Government

the
Federal
Government is the federal democratic
administrative authority of Australia.
The terms of this contract are
embodied
in
the
Australian
Constitution, which was drawn up at a
Constitutional Convention and ratified
by the people of the colonies at
referendums. The structure of the
Australian Government may be
examined in light of two distinct
concepts, namely federalism and the
separation of powers into executive,
legislative, and judicial branches of
government. Separation of powers is
implied from the structure of the
Constitution which breaks down the
branches of government into separate
chapters. The Australian federal
system is a unique mixture of the
Westminster and U.S. systems of
federal representative democracy, with
important elements of both present.
Australian art is any art made in
Australia or about Australia, from
prehistoric times to the present. This

of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Northern Ireland. The Government
is led by the Prime Minister, who
selects all the remaining Ministers. The
Prime Minister and the other most
senior Ministers belong to the supreme
decision-making committee, known as
the Cabinet. The Government
Ministers are all members of
Parliament, and are accountable to it.
The Government is dependent on
Parliament to make primary legislation,
which means that in practice a
government must seek re-election at
most every five years. The monarch
selects as Prime Minister the leader of
the party most likely to command a
majority in Parliament.

of the republic of fifty states that

constitute the United States, as well as
one capital district, and several other
territories. The federal government is
composed of three distinct branches:
legislative, executive and judicial,
whose powers are vested by the U.S.
Constitution in the Congress, the
President, and the federal courts,
including the Supreme Court,
respectively. The powers and duties of
these branches are further defined by
acts of Congress, including the
creation of executive departments and
courts inferior to the Supreme Court..
The terms "Government of the United
States of America" or "United States
Government" are often used in official
documents to represent the federal
government as distinct from the states
collectively.

during the 18th century Great Britain

began once again to take the leading
place England had in European art
during the Middle Ages, being
especially strong in portraiture and
landscape art. Increasing British
prosperity led to a greatly increased
production of both fine art and the
decorative arts, the latter often being
exported. The Romantic period
produced the very diverse talents of
William Blake, J. M. W. Turner, John
Constable and Samuel Palmer.
The de facto official language of the
