The Korean Government
North Korea (Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea)
At the end of World War II, we split Korea into two parts. The United States and the Soviet Union sent in help for each side. The Soviets sent help to the North, while the United States gave aid to the south. Because of this, each side copied the government of the nations helping it. North Korea had several communist groups forming, and eventually they formed one political party, the Korea Workers' Party, headed by Kim Il Sung.
Communism is a government that abolishes classes and the property is controlled by the community, or commonly. North Korea's government was Communist since the Soviet Union sent aid, and even when Kim Il Sung died, it remained so. The minor political parties are controlled by the KWP (Korean Workers' Party). Leaders of a Communist country are often referred to as dictators, which says something about the way they run their country. The North Korean government does not have a check and balance. Their government is repressive in the ways that they do not allow you to critisize the government and dictator. They have a huge lack of freedom of speach and association. There is no religious or press freedom. Should someone in a family in North Korea commit a crime, the family of the criminal is sent to a forced-labor camp, possibly for the rest of their lives.
South Korea (Republic of Korea)
When the United States sent aid to the South, they modeled their government after ours. They became a republic. Their first president was Syngman Rhee. The South Korean government has been a republic since we sent aid there, and has not changed. Republicanism is a form of government in which the people vote on the country's leader, and they have a say in the government. Leaders of a republic are normally called presidents. The United States is a republic also. Republics have a check and balance. The government is repressive in ways like ours. There is freedom of speach, press, and assembly but anyone who favors communism or the North Korean regime is punished.
