Answer 2

The Republic of Ecuador is a representative democracy. The Government is divided into three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial. There is also an autonomous electoral agency called the "Tribunal Supremo Electoral". The country is separated into 21 provinces each of which is further divided into administrative cantones and parroquias.

In 1998, a constitutional assembly was convened by popular mandate to revise Ecuador's Constitution. The new constitution strengthens the executive branch by eliminating mid-term congressional elections and by restricting Congress' power to challenge and remove cabinet ministers. Also, soon after the new Constitution took effect Congress passed a code of ethics that seeks to strengthen Ecuador's political parties, which historically have been small and weak. The code of ethics imposes penalties on party members who vote contrary to their party on key votes.

Relatively unstable with regards to who is president. They have had 17 presidents in the last 20 years even though he is elected for a 4-year term by popular vote
