| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Elections in Pakistan - Executive branch
Elections in Pakistan - President Sadr-e-Mumliqat.
The president, in keeping with the constitutional provision that the state religion is Islam, must be a Muslim. Elected for a five-year term by an Electoral College consisting of members of the Senate and National Assembly and members of the provincial assemblies, the president is eligible for reelection. But no individual may hold the office for more than two consecutive terms. The president may resign or be impeached and may be removed from office ...

| | | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Provisions for amendment The authors of the Constitution were clearly aware that changes would be necessary from time to time if the Constitution was to endure and cope with the effects of the anticipated growth of the nation. However, they were also conscious that such change should not be easy, lest it permit ill-conceived and hastily passed amendments. Balancing this, they also wanted to ensure that an overly rigid requirement of unanimity would not block action desired by the vast majority of the population. Their solution w ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Federation Council of Russia - Criticisms Critics to the Federation Council stress that the upper house is an inherently undemocratic body made for regional elites, with little say from the Russian people. Since the reforms advocated and passed by President Putin in 2000, critics have also charged that the Council resembles more of a rubber stamp body for the Kremlin than an independent legislative body. Many senators, including Council Chairman Sergey Mironov, are viewed as close allies of Putin and the United Russia party, despite rules with explicitly spell out that political fac ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - Legality of the Constitution One historical controversy is whether the Constitution was illegally adopted.
The Constitution was originally proposed by a convention which was convened for the express purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation. The Articles required ratification by the legislatures of all of the member states for amendments to take effect. Article Seven of the Constitution, however, only required ratification by conventions in nine states for that document to take effect. Scholars have traditionally resolved this contradiction by arguing tha ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Constitution of Pakistan - Early constitutional beginnings The first major step in framing a constitution was the passage by the Constituent Assembly of the Objectives Resolution of March 1949, which defined the basic principles of the new state. It provided that Pakistan would be a state:
"wherein the principles of democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance and social justice, as enunciated by Islam, shall be fully observed; wherein the Muslims shall be enabled to order their lives in the individual and collective spheres in accordance with the teachings and requirements of Islam a ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Constitution of Pakistan - The Constitution of 1973 Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Prime minister from 1971 to 1977, lifted martial law within several months after his election, and after an "interim constitution" granting him broad powers as President, a new constitution was promulgated in April 1973 and came into effect on August 14 of that year, the twenty-sixth anniversary of the country's independence. This constitution represented a consensus on three issues: the role of Islam; the sharing of power between the federal government and the provinces; and the division of responsibility between the pr ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Federation Council of Russia - Elections Unlike the State Duma and the provincial legislatures throughout Russia, the Council is not directly elected, but instead chosen by territorial politicians, resembling in some respects to the structure of the U.S. Senate prior to the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913.
According to Article 95, the Council is elected by the individual territorial governments of Russia’s 89 federal subjects, with each territory sending two representatives each. One senator is elected through the legislature (or bicameral legislatures) of the provinces. The ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - United States Constitution - International influences on the development of the Constitution To a small degree, historians disagree on the specific international influences on the development of the Constitution, possibly due to the variety of sources. Many argue that several of the ideas embodied in the Constitution were new, and that a large number of ideas were drawn from Classical Antiquity and the British governmental tradition of mixed government, which was in practice among 12 of the 13 states. Many historians do not specifically consider other sources, but the ideas advocated by the writings of Charles de Secondat, Baron de ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Federation Council of Russia - Legislative functions As the upper house of the Federal Assembly, the Federation Council is viewed as a more formal chamber than the lower house State Duma. Because of its federalist design, as well as its voting franchise strictly limited to provincial elites, the Council is viewed as less volatile to radical changes.
The Council is charged in cooperating with the State Duma in completing and voting on draft laws. Federal laws concerning budgets, customs regulations, credit monitoring, and the ratification of international treaties are to be considered by the Council after they have b ...

Politics of Pakistan - Form of Government.
Officially a federal republic, Pakistan has had a long history of alternating periods of electoral democracy and authoritarian military government. Military presidents include General Ayub Khan in the 1960s, General Zia ul Haq in the 1980s, and General Pervez Musharraf from 1999. However, a majority of Pakistan's Heads of State and Heads of Government have been elected civilian leaders. General elections were held in October 2002. After monitoring the elections, the Comm ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Separation of powers - Criticisms In parliamentary systems such as the United Kingdom the three "powers" are not officially separated. However, this has not threatened British stability, because the strong traditions of that system serve a similar purpose. In contrast, many countries which have adopted separation of powers (especially in Latin America) have suffered from instability (coups d'etat, military dictatorships etc.). Some observers believe that no obvious case exists in which such instability was prevented by the separation of powers. The existence of a strong inde ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Separation of powers - Checks and balances The phrase "checks and balances" was also coined by Montesquieu. In a system of government with competing sovereigns (such as a multi-branch government or a federal system), "checks" refers to the ability, right, and responsibility of each power to monitor the activities of the other(s); "balances" refers to the ability of each entity to use its authority to limit the powers of the others, whether in general scope or in particular cases.
Keeping each independent entity within its prescribed powers can be a delicate process. Public support, tradition, and wel ...

Media freedom is generally considered to be a core supporting mechanism for democratic governments, and it is found in all strong democracies, regardless of the organizational principle of the "branches" of government.
Many governments financially support public broadcasting in one way or another, but in strong democracies, even these media outlets enjoy strong editorial independence from the government.
An independent press acts as a powerful check against all forms of government, ...

| | | | | Seventeenth Amendment: Encyclopedia II - Separation of powers - Taiwan Republic of China : Five branches Some countries take the doctrine further than the three-branch system. The government of the Republic of China, for example, has five branches: the Executive Yuan, Legislative Yuan, Judicial Yuan, Control Yuan, and Examination Yuan. (Some European countries have rough analogues to the Control Yuan in the forms of ombudsmen, separate from the executive and the legislature.)
However, as Taiwan is a young democracy, the relationship between the executive branch and the legislative branch is often poorly defined. In practice, there are a ...
