Political System

The Bahamas is a parlimentary democracy with the prime minister as head of state. It gained its independence as a former British colony and remains a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. It is run very similar to the United Kingdom, since much of the culuture was made from the British colonization. It is run by a two-party system similar to the US. The constitution protects freedom of speech, press, worship, movement, and association. It gives the Bahamas a westernized culture to a country that is in a area of mainly poor and unjust governments. I know the people of Bahamas can't complain. Since the Bahamians have very low crime and violence rates, and people live safely. I believe they are doing so well because of the government, and because it gives them the same indeniable freedoms that the American constitution started.
