 Part Two

1. On an internet browser type the word “Andorra wikipedia” and pick the first link.  On the right hand side you will see the Andorran flag, and other information like the capital, official language, etc. Read the section on government (including the links), and in your own words rephrase the information read and write three/four sentences to explain why Andorra’s government is defined as “Unitary parliamentary, semi elective diarchy”

2. Do the same as above for the country of Canada and explain to someone who does not have the time to read the whole thing, what is meant by  “a federal parliamentary, constitutional monarchy”.
