November 6th HG Class

Today in class, me and Parker did the presentation. We researched about the Germany Government. To write some informations about Germany Government. Germany Government is the Federal Republic. Federal Republic Government is the government that the leader who were elected from their people has most of the power and makes important decisions. It is also a type of government that many types of government was unified and formed one Republic country. In Federal Republic countries, citizens get to vote for their own leaders. Federal Republic Government in Germany was established during May 23 of 1949 to Oct 3rd of 1990. These is the period that Hitler lost his power by killing himself and to reunification of West Germany and East Germany. Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany because after World War 2 Germany was the lost war country. So Winner of the war country, US and Soviet Union was in charge of Germany. But US and Soviet Union had different type of society. US is a republic country but Soviet Union was Communist Country. So West Germany which US was in charge had Republic Government, but East Germany where Soviet Union was in charge had Communist Government. But as the Berlin Wall which divided the Germany was collapsed in 1990 they became one United country as a Federal Republic of Germany. Germany's President is Joachim Gauck. He is the President of Germany since 2012 and his term ends in 2017. He is eligible to be reelected one more time for 5years. But the real power of Germany is Angela Merkel, who is the chancellor of Germany. She is the Chancellor of Germany since 2005 and this is her third term. There's no limitation for terms being a Chancellor if Majority of the members in National Assembly of Germany agrees. Impeachment is one of the way citizens can pull the leader out from their office. The impeachment in Germany is if the leader violates the Central  Law of Germany, they are sent to Federal Constitutional Court and Budestag & Bundestrat decides if the leader is guilty or not and choose to remove leader out of office or not. These are informations about Germany Government. Second group was Candle and Adam who researched about Japan. Japan's type of Government is constitutional Monarchy. This is the type of government as UK where there is the leader of the country as well as chief but leader has a power while chief does not. Japan's government is divided into three parts. Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch Executive Branch includes the Chief of the State and Prime Minister. Legislative Branch includes the bicameral diet. Judicial Branch includes supreme court. Supreme Court of Japan consists of 14 associative judges. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe started his work in December of 2012. Term is 4years each and there is no limit for reelection. Minimum voting age in Japan is 20years old.
