The head of state in the USA is not ceremonial like in Great Britain. The President is the real head of state and the head of the executive branch.
The legislative branch is represented by Congress, and the executive branch is represented by the President and the government.
The political system works through the separation of powers. The people elect the President, senators and representatives, and these officials make decisions on their behalf. In Britain, the head of state is the monarch, and the Prime Minister heads the government.
In the USA, the President and members of Congress are elected, while many other officials are appointed. In Britain, the monarch is not elected; the Prime Minister is appointed.
The head of state in the USA is elected indirectly by the people through the Electoral College. In Britain, the head of state is not elected at all.
Yes, the people of the USA can exercise their power through their representatives. In Britain, people also exercise power through elected representatives in Parliament.
The two branches of power are involved in making laws and carrying them out.
New facts about the US political system: the President is both the head of state and the head of the executive branch; the people do not elect the President directly; and the system is based on checks and balances.
