America Against Bulgaria, Which Country is Better?
Why exactly did I choose to compare Bulgaria and the United States ? To start
off, these two countries have similar governmental structures. The United States
has a constitutional federal republic and Bulgaria has a parliamentary republic. I
was born in Bulgaria. I thought it would be kind of cool to compare to the United
States. I’m also interested in learning about various European governments and
how they vary from one another. I don’t remember that much about my “home
country,” and I thought comparing the two would be an excellent opportunity to
learn something new.
Bulgaria has a rich history of the role and structure of its government. To
start off, The Bulgars, an Asian Turkic tribe, merged with their neighborhood Slavic
occupants in the late seventh to form the Bulgarian state (World Factbook). In
1878, Northern Bulgaria became completely independent from the Ottoman Empire
in 1908 (Infoplease). In 1990, Bulgaria held it’s first multiparty race since the fall to
the Soviets. Also in 1990, the state of Bulgaria started pushing t oward political
majority rules system and a market economy (BBC). The United States also has a
rich history, originally supporting slavery. America’s government has been
2
noticeably more stable compared to Bulgaria. I’m going to go into detail later. Now
that you know a brief history of Bulgaria and America, let’s talk about their
administrative structure and their electoral systems. My criteria for rating the
following are based on, administrative transparency and oath of office.
Since the 1990s Bulgaria has been a Parliamentary Republic. Truly, this kind
of government is huge a standout amongst the most complex around the world.
Bulgaria‘s administration is more similar to a semi–presidential framework in light of
the fact that the President has the job of head of state, and the PM completes the
post of head of government. The nation‘s managing body, the Council of Ministers,
is proposed by the president in meeting with the diverse get –together of the
National Assembly and with the dominant part gathering‘s contender for PM
