Which are the important elements of the American government

The US political system is a democracy, but it differs from other democracies in many ways. The country itself is a federal constitutional republic. The President of the United States shares power with the Congress and the judiciary. These powers are reserved to the national government. The state governments are overseen by the federal government. There are five important elements of the political system in the United States.
