Sketch of System of Government
The political system of Britain is constitutional monarchy, which has two main characteristics, namely “parliamentary sovereignty” and “separation of powers”.
“Parlimentary sovereignty” means that parliamentary has absolute and ultimate power within the British system. Parliament can pass, repal and alter any of Britain’s laws.
The principle of dividing the functions of government is known as “the separation of powers”. And the principle behind it is to ensure that there is no excessive use of abuse of power by any small group people.
