Question

what is a major difference between the british and u.s. governments?
(1 point)
the british government is bound by the rule of law
the british federal government has power over the states.
the leader of britain is chosen by the legislature.
the british constitution includes a list of individual rights.

Explanation:

• Both the British and U.S. governments follow the rule of law, so the first option is incorrect.
• Britain does not have a federal system; it is a unitary state, so the second option is wrong.
• Britain's head of government (Prime Minister) is selected from the majority party in the legislature (Parliament), while the U.S. President is elected independently via the electoral college.
• The British constitution is uncodified and does not have a single document listing individual rights (unlike the U.S. Bill of Rights), so the fourth option is incorrect.

Answer:

C. The leader of Britain is chosen by the legislature.
