Explanation
Why this works
A relevant election, ruling, Act, convention, institutional example, prescribed thinker or extract argument explained in context. This is correct because political evidence must be precise, relevant and connected to the claim.
The UK and USA may perform a related political function, whereas their constitutional structures differ; the comparison matters because it changes power and accountability. One viewpoint supports the stated approach.
However, a competing viewpoint may be stronger in another context. Overall, AO3 judgement must follow from political evidence rather than assertion when answering "Analyse and evaluate the relationships of the UK Prime Minister and US President with other institutions of government.".
