The three major types or forms of government include the:
Monarchial type of government;
Monarchical governments consist of the rule by a king or queen. In other monarchies, the king is the emperor. Here, the governed are under the laws of the royal families, and there is some dictatorship in some cases. There are little chances given to the commoners to give their views on laws of the land by those in power.
Democratic form of government
In this form, there is a feeling that everyone takes part in the process of moving the government forward. People have a certain freedom, and it is simply a government of the people by the people.
Aristocratic or dictatorship form of government
This involves the use of force and absolute submission to the rules of those in power. A few men hold power and give directives on how the government runs.
B
Legislative powers lie with the members of either House of Representatives or the senate. They deal with the formation of laws and following them up to ensure that they are followed. The executive branch deals with ensuring of the running of the government and the total running of the government. In democratic governments, the legislature and the executive work hand in hand while in the dictatorship set of government the executive holds absolute power and control of all the running of the government
C
Dictatorship form of government consists of the rule by one person or a group of person who hold absolute power. They majorly tend to impose their laws to the subjects by those loyal to them
In aristocratic type of government, those who are very rich and have immense resources at their disposal hold power. These men will dictate the running of the government
A constitutional form of governments involves a group of people elected by the majority of the nation’s population to hold power and rule on behalf of the people.
D
In USA, we have witnessed the practice of these types of government; aristocratic, republic, and democratic
2.
Bicameral form of government in the USA simply just came about due to the need to make it convenient for the carrying out of the day-to-day business of the government in the 14th century. The bicameral system divides the legislative functions between two chambers, the upper, and the lower chamber.
The system brought about the balance of power between the nobles and the commoners and was effective in creating a sense of belonging to each American citizen. The system also ensured the ease in working out of many of the government policies, which ensured quicker responses to situations by the government tot the people.

There are many amendments made to the USA constitution.
The 15th amendment was ratified in 1870 allowing anyone as long as he or she was an American to participate in the voting process. It has benefitted all of us since not anyone has to be discriminated because of the race or his origin that is a good thing since it brings us together united as one
The 22nd amendment- limits a president to only two terms in office. It enables a fair process of democracy since everyone has got a chance to an election after every term of the president in office
26th amendment- allowed every young citizen between the ages of 18-20 the right to participate in the voting process. It was a major boost since most of the population in the country is the young people and having the right to expression was a good thing.

Both the House of Representatives and the senate have the power to enact legislation and declare war. These are very useful since in case the president is not reachable and there is an event of war, the congress can act swiftly and save the situation.
Both houses have the power to make laws. It enables the people to be governed democratically and in a proper way.
Both houses also share power to regulate commerce. In the case of difficult economic times, the congress can try to regulate situations to ease the burden on the people
It is also a constitutional obligation for the two houses to establish federal courts that prosecute or carry out jurisdiction duties on behalf of the government.
Both houses also share a common power to impeach government officials who abuse office, which helps in keeping check of government officials

The president has the powers to execute and enforce laws created by the congress. I think our president; Barrack Obama has done well to enforce free maternal health care to women across the state which has enabled the mothers to get good services and readily available.
As the commander in chief of the forces, it is also in the president’s capacity to sanction for security measures and the calling into action of the army. It has good use such as the sanctioning of the killing of world-known terrorist Osama bin laden
It is also among the powers of the president to appoint government leaders to certain posts in the government. I think the president has done a good job though still think he could have done a lot better by allowing some of the republicans to take some of the positions and not necessarily democrats so as to promote democracy.
