    1.

    Geographical distribution of power is important in the United States because it


    allows for a division of powers between the federal government and state
    governments, ensuring a balance of authority and autonomy.

    2. The relationship between the executive and legislative branches is a useful way
    to classify governments because it determines how power is divided and balanced
    within a political system, influencing decision-making processes and governance
    structures.

    3. The U.S. constitutional republic allows for broader participation compared to


    authoritarian forms of government, where power is concentrated in the hands of a
    single individual or a small group without democratic processes.

    4. A theocracy typically intertwines religious authority with government, which is


    absent in the U.S. constitutional republic where there is a separation of church
    and state. Theocratic governments derive legitimacy and laws from religious
    doctrines, unlike the U.S. system based on secular principles and democratic
    institutions.

    5. Federal systems provide a balance between national unity and regional autonomy,
    confederate systems grant significant autonomy to individual states or regions,
    while unitary systems concentrate power at the national level. Advantages include
    flexibility and responsiveness in federal systems, autonomy and cooperation in
    confederate systems, and efficiency and uniformity in unitary systems.
    Disadvantages include potential conflicts between federal and state laws in federal
    systems, weak central authority and potential disunity in confederate systems, and
    limited local autonomy in unitary systems.

    6. Classifying governments by the number of people who can participate is often


    found most useful because it reflects the level of democracy and inclusivity within
    a political system. Evidence from the text supports this by highlighting the
    importance of understanding who can participate in governance to comprehend the
    nature of a political regime and its implications for society.

    7. In a presidential government, the executive branch is separate from the


    legislative branch, with the president serving as the head of state and government,
    independently elected by the people, and coexisting with the legislature, which is
    typically a separate body elected separately.

    8. Parliamentary systems of government offer advantages such as efficiency in


    decision-making, clearer lines of accountability, and flexibility in forming
    coalitions. However, disadvantages include potential instability due to frequent
    elections, dominance of the executive over the legislative branch, and limited
    checks and balances compared to presidential systems.
