    Solution
    The United States is a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy. The "federal" part is one of three basic types of organization of power — unitary, confederal, and federal. a federal government is one in which powers are divided between the regional and national government and the regional governments by the Constitution itself and both operate in their respective jurisdictions independently. The "republic" implies that we have a strong head of state (the President) and elected officials representing the people. The "constitutional" part means that we have a constitution, which is pretty obvious, considering this site. A federal parliamentary republic refers to a federation of states with a republican form of government that is, more or less, dependent upon the confidence of parliaments at both the national and sub-national levels. It is a combination of the federal republic and the parliamentary republic. In India there is a division of powers between the state and union; the executive is responsible to the legislature; the head of the State and head of government are different persons, and all the politicians are elected to represent the people. A unitary government is one in which all the powers are vested in the national government and the regional governments, if any exist, derive their authority from the national government. A constitutional monarchy is a form of monarchy in which the sovereign exercises authority in accordance with a written or unwritten constitution. Constitutional monarchy differs from absolute monarchy (in which a monarch holds absolute power) in that constitutional monarchs are bound to exercise their powers and authorities within the limits prescribed within an established legal framework. Thus, the UK has a unitary, parliamentary monarchy.      
    France has presidential cum parliamentary republic political system. In the Parliamentary Republic, Constitution is supreme and the constitutional will is legislated and executed by elected or appointed legislators from amongst the people who are entrusted to represent them. The Prime Minister is the head of the government and is appointed by the President. The ministers and ministers of state are appointed by the President of the Republic upon a proposal of the Prime Minister. Under the president-parliamentary system, the prime minister and cabinet are dually accountable to the president and the parliament. In the parliamentary-presidential system, the president is appointed by the legislature and is not directly elected by the people.
