Government

Sierra Leone is a constitional democracy. The capital of Sierra Leone is Freetown. There are three provinces and 1 area. The Independence day is held on the 27th of April. The legal system is based on English law and the customary laws indigenous to the local tribes. To vote you must be 18 years of age. The judicial branch is the Supreme court. There are different political parties and some of these are the All People's Congress, Peace and Liberation Party, and Sierra Leone People's Party. Sierra Leone's flag is at the right.


The United States is constitution, which is based upon federal republic. The capital is Washington, DC. We celebrate our Indpendence day of July 4th. The legal system is based on English common law, with each state having their own unique legal system. To vote you must be 18 years of age. The judicial branch is the Supreme Court. The political parties consist of Democratic and Republican. The United sates slag is at the left.

Between the two they both have the same voting age and judicial branch. The political parties are different and so are the flags.
