Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. As a system of politics and government, political systems include the legal, economic, cultural and other social systems of a country. A political system judges who should have authority, how religious questions should be handled, and what the government's influence on its people and economy should be. This book focuses on the Westminster system which is modeled after the politics of the United Kingdom, and includes background on the parliamentarian system of the United Kingdom and key characteristics of a Westminster system. The book series further explores other types of political systems including democracy, meritocracy, sultanates, theocracy, feudalism and more.
