loftiest authority on electoral matters and is a technical organ of the Federal Judicial
Branch. The Electoral Tribunal has the responsibility to supervise that all acts and
rulings pronounced by the electoral authorities meet the Constitution and the laws
deduced from it.

b. Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation

- The Supreme Court is the loftiest court in the country and Its main function is to
defend the Federal Constitution of the United Mexican States and, especially, to cover
mortal rights. The first precursor of the Supreme Court can be traced back to the War
of Independence and the preceding Constitution of Apatzingan of October 22nd,
1814. This Constitution created a Supreme Court as the head of the Judiciary. It was
made up of five judges appointed by the Union Congress for a three- time term.

c. District Courts

District Court has original and appellate governance. The geographical and financial
governance in civil cases is frequently established in applicable state enactments on

and applicable orders for the effective and ready administration of justice within their
circuits.

2. Explain the two types of deputies in legislative level and explain their function/purposes
The council is the name given to a state's legislative body. It's the first organ of
the government. It has the capability to legislate or amend laws, as well as to supervise
government administration. Lawmakers are divided into two types unicameral and
bicameral.
Unicameral houses are typical in small countries with unitary systems of
government examples are Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Israel, and New Zealand or in
veritably small countries, examples are Andorra, Dominica, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein,
Malta, and Tuvalu. Civil countries, whether large or small, generally have bicameral
houses, one house generally representing the main territorial services. The classic
illustration is the Congress of the United States, which consists of a House of
Representatives, with 435 members tagged for two- time terms from single- member
sections of roughly equal population, and a Senate, conforming of 2 persons from each
state tagged by the choosers of that state. The fact that all countries are represented
inversely in the Senate anyhow of their size reflects the civil character of the American
union. The U.S. Senate enjoys special powers not participated by the House of
Representatives it must confirm by a two-thirds maturity bounce the transnational
covenants concluded by the chairman and must confirm the chairman’s movables to the
press and to other important superintendent services. The civil character of the Swiss
constitution is likewise reflected in the makeup of the country’s public council, which is
bicameral. One house, the National Council, consists of 200 members apportioned among
the cantons according to population; the other house, the Council of States, consists of 46
members tagged from the cantons by direct vote.
The bicameral legislature is a country's legislative body that has two separate houses,
assemblies, or chambers to perform legislative functions such as enacting laws, passing
the budget, and so on. Its primary goal is to represent people from all sectors or societies
in the country. India, Canada, Japan, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom are among the

countries that have a bicameral legislature. Each country has its own procedure for
selecting members of the two houses. These chambers or houses differ in terms of the
number of seats, powers, voting procedures, and so on.

3. Explain the election process in Mexico

The election in Mexico provides for the President and the maturity of other tagged
officers to be tagged directly. Ordinary choices for the President and Senate members are
conducted every six times, and choices for deputies are held every three times. Election was
never intended to be a system of picking new leaders, and they were infrequently important to
public policy. As a result of anon-competitive electoral process, the official party has enjoyed a
near-monopoly on all situations of public office.
