This short post is, in a way, continuation of another that I published a few days ago, entitled "Global political vision".

Among many other issues, this text explained the importance of understanding a fundamental idea in the power relations between the rulers and the governed, an idea that, in summary, consists in that citizens have to be aware that (a) if not we are represented in the parliament and (b) the executive power is not separated from the legislative power, it is very easy to commit abuses by those in power.

And with the aim of deepening in that sense, I have summarized in a brief outline, with simple and simple statements, the existing political power systems that derive from the European tradition to complete in more detail aspects that in that previous article were left without specifying
