Answer 1

Ans) The American President and the British Prime Minister are two of the most powerful leaders in the world.

- The PM is the head of the British government and the President is the head of the American government. Both leaders make lots of important decisions that affect people in each country.

- Whilst the Prime Minister is the head of the government, it’s the ruling monarch who’s the head of state. The head of state is the person who has the finally say about what happens in the country. Technically, the ruling monarch at Buckingham Palace could overrule the Prime Minister… but that doesn’t tend to happen nowadays.

- In the US, the President is the head of the government – and the head of state! It’s two jobs in one, which is why it’s particularly important.

- Another key difference between the two roles is that people in the UK haven’t actually voted for the Prime Minister. Not quite, anyway. Instead, they vote for a local Member of Parliament – an MP that represents their hometown. There are hundreds of MPs all across the country and they meet in London to discuss how they can make things better for everyone.
