The system of government where the head of state exercises both executive and ceremonial powers is known as a presidential system. In this system, the head of state is usually elected by the people and is separate from the head of government, who holds the actual executive power.

Military governments usually rule by decrees. Decrees are official orders or decisions issued by a government or other authority, such as a military government. Decrees are often used by military governments to bypass traditional legislative processes and impose their will on the population. They can be used to implement policies, restrict civil liberties, and punish dissenters. Unlike laws, which are made through established legal processes, decrees are issued by those in power without public debate or input, making them more authoritarian in nature.

The answer is "state." In a state, membership is compulsory for all individuals living within its territory. It is not possible to opt out of membership in a state, as this would require leaving its territory entirely. A state has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within its territory, and its laws apply to all individuals within its borders.

The primary purpose of political participation is to seek or hold political office. Political participation refers to any activity or action that citizens take to influence or support government and politics. This may include voting, joining a political party, running for office, attending political rallies or events, contacting elected officials, or engaging in protests or other forms of activism.

Akọwa Nkọwa
Political Parties facilitate the working of a democratic government. Political parties are groups of people who come together to contest elections and hold power in the government. Political parties offer various political alternatives to the citizens, who can then choose the party that best represents their interests. They also provide a platform for individuals to voice their concerns and to participate in the political process. In a democracy, political parties play a critical role in ensuring that the government is accountable to the people, and they facilitate the peaceful transfer of power from one party to another. Therefore, political parties are essential for the functioning of a democratic government.

When two or more political parties come together to form a government, it is referred to as a "coalition government".

This type of government allows for a broader range of ideas and perspectives to be represented, but can also face challenges in terms of balancing the interests and agendas of the different parties involved.

Anonymity in the civil service means that an officer should not take praise or blame for his/her performance. It is a principle that enables civil servants to carry out their duties without fear of retribution or favoritism, and to serve the government of the day impartially. Civil servants are expected to remain neutral and committed to their duties, regardless of changes in government, and anonymity is a key factor in ensuring their independence and objectivity. By remaining anonymous, civil servants are able to focus on the tasks at hand and work towards the best interests of the government and the people it serves, without being swayed by external pressures or interests.

The main purpose of setting up public corporations is to provide essential services to the people at minimal cost.

The immunity of some citizens negates the principle of the rule of law. The rule of law states that everyone is equal before the law, and no one is above it. However, when some citizens are granted immunity from prosecution, they are essentially above the law, and this undermines the principle of the rule of law. This is because the rule of law requires that everyone be subject to the same laws and penalties, regardless of their status or position in society. Therefore, the principle of immunity for some citizens is incompatible with the rule of law.
