Question No. 6

I'll post a sample FRQ here about comparative government and politics almost every week day until April 30. They're for practice, since that one of the best ways of preparing for the exam.

You can subscribe to these questions using the RSS feed (the little broadcast icon in the address bar), and you'll see them in your news reader when I post them.

You can submit an answer using the "Questions" e-mail link at the What You Need to Know web site. (Look in the lower, right-hand section of that page.)

If you submit the earliest best answer, I'll post your answer (without your name) and a critique here a week after the question was posted. It will be in the "Comments" section for that question.

Here's Question No. 6 (It's a Country Concept question.):

The Prime Minister in the UK and the Premier in the Peoples Republic of China are heads of governments in their respective countries.

What is the most significant similarity between the roles of the two officials? Why is it the most significant similarity?

What is the most significant difference between the two positions? Why is it the most significant difference? (4-point question)


(See part 3 of chapter 6, pp. 53-58 and part 3 of chapter 7, pp. 69-75 in What You Need to Know.)
