Lessons learned from the American elections

The American election has many lessons to learn.
one Independence of the judicial system
Mr. Trump is the president and the most powerful executive officer and commander in chief of the US military. But Mr. Trump cannot disturb the judicial independence of the state judge. Several requests by the Trump administration to stop the counting of votes in the states have been rejected.
two. Media independence
Since election day, Twitter has published the term “misleading” along with Trump’s tweets many times and warned that his tweets about election fraud or his victory are misleading. An American network interrupted Trump’s speech, which contained false information. Trump cannot ask the judiciary or the security forces to shoot him in these media.
three Trustworthy election system
The election system is designed so solidly and reliably and the elections are held so accurately that people have been able to take and mail ballots a few weeks before the election day. Nearly one hundred million votes were sent by mail, and this amount of American population did not worry about their votes reaching and being read.
four Accuracy in counting votes
The accuracy of the election in counting votes is so much that a thousand votes or less can be decisive. Counting until the last ballot means. It is not necessary for the difference between the winner and the loser to be several million so that the people and the candidates can feel at ease about the accuracy of the election. The election institution with its technical details is carefully designed with appropriate technology.
five Relative independence of the economic system
The development of the private sector, the strict regulation of the economy according to the economic rules, the relative stability of the economic policy, the independence of the central bank, the very little intervention of the government in the economy, the transparency and other characteristics of the American economy, despite the long-term influence of the governments on the economy and the importance of the economic policies of the governments and Of course, the difference in their performance, the change of governments does not cause instability, crisis and drastic changes in the economy.
Americans have come a long way to build such a military. Structural problems or the effect of Donald Trump’s polarizing policies may cause tensions in America, but the elections of this period showed that America, which was founded by the founding fathers, has strong structural and legal foundations.
