During the course of history, monarchies have evolved into republics or democracies. 
During this process, the past of each nation state has affected the political institutions that were created. 
These institutions and political culture have led to the emergence of different systems of administration and government. These systems can be classified into three types: the parliamentary system (Great Britain), the presidential system (United States) and the semi-presidential system (France).
