[coccinelle]

Aufgabe: What are the main differneces in the electoral system between the United States and Germany? Describe them. If you see any similarities, you can include these and comment on them, too.(200words)

Inhalt finde ich gut, aber der Rest.....

First of all, the Germans has got a system where the voters only vote the members of the "Bundestag" in a directly way. The "Bundestag" is the most important institution in the legesaltive and has the right, beside the federal government and the Federal Council of Germany, to suggest new laws. Among other things, the Bundestag has the task to appoint the Federal Chancellor. The Federal Chancellor leads the cabinet and you can simply say that he/she is the head of state. The federal president of Germany has only a formal position. The American voters vote their president and parliament directly. The President of the United States has much more power as the German Chancello: He/She is not only the head of state, but also interfere in the legeslative in a more amphatically way. For examole the president has the right to veto any law passed by Congress and isn't responsible to him.

The electoral system is also differnet between the two states. In Germany the partes are relativally represented in the parliament an din America the candidates need a relative majority in his/her special area to get a member of the parliament. That's why more parties are represented in the German parliament than in the American one where nearly only the democrats and the republicans are represented. You can simply say, that a majority is extremelly important in America and in the electoral system of Germany it isn't a quarantee for a win.

One similarity between the two states is the fact that the power of the state is seperated in three differnet branches. This system of checks and balances quaranteed that none of them gets too much power, because each branch is controlled by the other two ones.

Hallo Du,
entschuldige bitte meine deutlichen Worte: mir fallen in diesem Text nicht nur eine ganze Reihe von grammatischen Fehlern auf, die ich gerne bereit bin zu korrigieren, sondern auch extrem viele Rechtschreibfehler. Und das weist eher darauf hin, dass Du ihn vor dem Posten nicht nochmal durchgelesen hast. Sei so gut und mache das und sei dabei aufmerksam, schaue im Wörterbuch nach, dann werden wir gerne bei dem Rest behilflich sein.

Grüße

Sorry, kommt nicht wieder vor! War alles a bissle kompliziert mit der Anmeldung und so - bin halt NOCH  kein Computerfreak
Ich bin aber schon sehr gespannt auf Verbesserungen - ich finde so lernt man am Besten...

First of all, the Germans has got a system where the voters only vote the members of the "Bundestag" in a directly way. The "Bundestag" is the most important institution in the legislative and has the right, beside the federal government and the Federal Council of Germany, to suggest new laws. Among other things, the Bundestag has the task to appoint the Federal Chancellor. The Federal Chancellor leads the cabinet and you can simply say that he/she is the head of state. The federal president of Germany has only a formal position. The American voters vote their president and parliament directly. The President of the United States has much more power as the German Chancellor: He/She is not only the head of state, but also interferes in the legislative in a more emphatically way. For example the president has the right to veto any law passed by Congress and isn't responsible to him.

The electoral system is also different between the two states. In Germany the parties are relatively represented in the parliament and in America the candidates need a relative majority in his/her special area to get a member of the parliament. That's why more parties are represented in the German parliament than in the American one in which nearly only the democrats and the republicans are represented. You can simply say, that a majority is extremely important in America and in the electoral system of Germany it isn't a guarantee for a win.

One similarity between the two states is the fact that the power of the state is separated in three different branches. This system of checks and balances quaranteed that none of them gets too much power, because each branch is controlled by the other two ones.

First of all, the Germany has got an electoral system in which the candidate who wins the majority of votes in his/her constituency becomes a member of the "Bundestag". This is decided by the number of the voters' first vote. The "Bundestag" is the most important institution in the legislative and has the right to suggest new laws. These are often tabled by the Federal Government and have to be approved by the Federal Council of Germany before they are passed. Among other things, the Bundestag has the task to appoint the Federal Chancellor. The Federal Chancellor leads the cabinet and you can simply say that he/she is the head of state. The Federal President of Germany has a more or less representative position but is important because he/she has the right to dissolve the Bundestag if need be.
The American voters elect their president and parliament directly. The President of the United States has much more power than the German Chancellor: He/She is not only the head of state, but also interferes in the legislative in a more direct way. For example the president has the right to veto any law passed by Congress and isn't accountable to it.

The electoral systems of the two states also differ fundamentally. In Germany, the parties are voted for directly with the second vote and are represented in parliament in proportion to the percentage they won. This is called proportional representation. In America, the candidates need a relative majority in their electoral district in order to become a member of the parliament. That's why more parties are represented in the German parliament than in the American one in which nearly only the Democrats and the Republicans are represented. To put it simply, a majority is extremely important in both states, but in the electoral system of Germany it isn't enough to guarantee winning.

One similarity between the two states is the fact that the power of the state is separated in three different branches. This system of checks and balances quarantees that none of them gets too much power, because each branch is controlled by the other two ones.

Mit ziemlicher Verspätung, aber wie gewünscht hier meine Version.

Das Thema ist durchaus schwierig, nicht nur sprachlich sondern auch inhaltlich. So kann ich nicht für alle Inhalte die Hand ins Feuer legen, aber das muss ich ja auch nicht, nicht?
