Step 1
In a broad interpretation, the term "political system" means everything that is related to the foreign and domestic policy of the state. Therefore, such a term is more capacious than public administration, since it covers everything that affects the development of policy, the mechanism for posing and solving important issues and problems. What is the political system in Russia?
Step 2
The political system of the Russian Federation is clearly defined in the Constitution adopted in December 1993. The Constitution provides for the division of state power into legislative, executive and judicial.
Step 3
Legislative power in Russia belongs to the Federal Assembly, which consists of two chambers - the Federation Council and the State Duma. The State Duma consists of 450 deputies, elected for 4 years by secret ballot. The Federation Council consists of representatives of the subjects of the Russian Federation - regions, territories, autonomous republics, cities with a special status (2 people from each subject).
Step 4
Executive power is concentrated in the hands of the Government of the Russian Federation. It consists of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, his deputies and federal ministers. The Government of the Russian Federation is formed by the highest official of Russia - the President. The candidacy of the Prime Minister must be approved by the State Duma. When a new President of the Russian Federation is elected, according to the Constitution, the Government resigns its powers.
Step 5
The judiciary, according to the Russian Constitution, has complete independence and is independent of the legislative and executive branches. The highest bodies of the judicial system in Russia are: the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation. The Constitutional Court ensures the supremacy of the Constitution throughout the territory of Russia, verifies the compliance of laws and regulations with it. The Supreme Court oversees the activities of lower courts of general jurisdiction, including military courts (tribunals). The Supreme Arbitration Court is the highest judicial body when considering economic disputes and other cases within the competence of arbitration courts.
Step 6
According to the Russian Constitution, the state guarantees political diversity and a multi-party system. That is, all political parties, regardless of their size and popularity, acting within the framework of the law, should have an equal opportunity to conduct campaigning work among voters and to strive to achieve the goals specified in their programs.
