The Dominican Republic is a representative democracy, where the President of the Dominican Republic functions as both the head of the government and head of the multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in the bicameral National Congress; the Judiciary is independent of the legislature. With the proclamation of the first constitution in the Dominican Republic on 6 November 1844 in the city of San Cristobal, the Dominican theory of sovereignty,'independence politics', was formed; the Dominican Republic would remain for representative. The constitution of San Cristobal established the legislature as superior to the other branches, the judiciary as an independent and the Executive to run the state day-to-day under the oversight of the judiciary and the legislature; the Congress of the Dominican Republic consists of the Chamber of the Senate. The President of the Republic was presented as an impartial public figure that would provide a source of unity to the Republic.

The Executive is charged with the daily administration of the state, subject to the oversight of the judicial and legislative branches. The President functions as the head of state, the head of government, the Commander-in-Chief of the Dominican Armed Forces; the Dominican Cabinet is responsible for assisting the president in his duty to govern the nation and the President appoints ministers as he sees appropriate. The President and Vice President are elected on the same ticket by popular vote for a four-year term without immediate re-election. After at least one constitutional term, a person who has held the post of President before may run for this Office again, according to the last amendment made to the Constitution in 2010. Elections are held in years evenly divisible by four; the Dominican Constitution takes twenty-seven paragraphs to spell out the president's extensive powers. Among the most important are those that grant him authority over all appointments and removals of public officials, popular elected ones.

The president has vast emergency powers to suspend basic rights in times of emergency, to defer the legislature, to declare a state of siege, to rule by decree. The 1966 Constitution provides for ministers and subcabinet ministers to assist in public administration; these officials must be Dominican citizens, at least twenty-five years of age, with full civil and political rights. The powers of the ministers are determined by law. However, the president is constitutionally responsible for the actions of his ministers. Ministers serve at the president's discretion, function both as administrators of their ministries and as agents of presidential authority; the military consists of about 45,000 active duty personnel. Its principal mission is to defend the nation; the army, twice as large as the other services combined, consists of four infantry brigades and a combat support brigade. The Dominican Republic's military is second in size to Cuba's in the Caribbean; the armed forces participate in counter-narcotics efforts.

They are active in efforts to control contraband and illegal immigration from Haiti to the Dominican Republic and from the Dominican Republic to the United States and Puerto Rico.

Legislative power is exercised by a bicameral National Congress; the upper house is the Senate with 32 members, elected for a four-year term in single-seat constituencies.

The lower house is the Chamber of Deputies with 178 members, elected for a four-year term by proportional representation in accordance to each province, as follows: one deputy is elected for every 50,000 inhabitants plus fraction exceeding 25,000, but never less than two. Among the attributions of the Senate are the following: Studying and approving laws. To appoint the President and other members of the Central Electoral Board and their deputies. To appoint the members of the Public Accounts Chamber. To approve or not the appointment of diplomatic agents made by the Executive. To decide on the claims of the Chamber of Deputies against public officers for misconduct or serious faults in the performance of their duties. In the event of public accusation, the Senate may only impose the sanction of removal from office. However, the removed officer may be subject to being tried according to the respective statutes, if applicable. For the removal of office, a vote of at least ¾ of all members of the Senate is required.

Congressional and municipal elections are held separately from the presidential elections.

Color Adjustment is a 1992 documentary film that traces 40 years of race relations and the representation of African Americans through the lens of prime-time television entertainment, scrutinizing television's racial myths. Narrated by Ruby Dee, it is a sequel to Riggs’s Ethnic Notions, this time examining racial stereotypes in the broadcast age. Examining American television's most popular stars and shows, including Amos'n' Andy, The Nat King Cole Show, The Jeffersons and Son, Good Times, The Cosby Show, Frank's Place, others, Riggs outlines a history of the race conflict as reflected in television, it asserts that African Americans were allowed into America's prime-time family only insofar as their presence didn't challenge the mythology of the American Dream central to television's merchandising function. It demonstrates how the television networks managed to absorb divisive racial conflict into the familiar non-threatening formats of prime-time television. However, the sitcoms surrounding African-American characters did not reflect the actual societal values of the time, retreating from the conflict surrounding the Civil Rights Movement and pretending that society was "colorless."

Clips from the shows are interwoven with the parallel story of the Civil Rights Movement as presented on the evening news. Writers and producers—such as Hal Kanter, Norman Lear, Steven Bochco, David Wolper and others—take viewers behind the scenes of their creations. Esther Rolle, Diahann Carroll, Tim Reid, other Black performers reflect on the roles they played in shaping prime-time race relations. Cultural critics Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Herman Gray, Alvin Poussaint, Patricia Turner suggest that, while these television programs entertained, they reinforced and validated a particular notion of the "American Family." Color Adjustment was met with critical praise, receiving a Peabody Award and being nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. It was aired as part of the P. O. V. Series on PBS; the film was awarded the Independent Documentary Association's Outstanding Achievement Award and the Organization of American Historians' Erik Barnouw Award.

"You're Nobody'til Somebody Loves You" is a song by British singer and songwriter James Arthur. Written by Arthur along with TMS, who produced the record, it serves as his first single since winning the ninth series of The X Factor in 2012, his second single overall after "Impossible", the lead single from his self-titled debut album. Speaking to Capital FM about the song, Arthur called it: "One of those big, uplifting anthemic tunes; the rest of the album is quite diverse." The song received its debut airplay on Capital FM on 9 September 2013. Writing for the Metro, Seamus Duff said "With a genuine new talent about to take the charts, The X Factor might in fact have produced their best winner yet." Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave it four stars out of five, saying "It's hard times when nobody wants you," he sings in his unmistakably wobbly, soul-soaked vocal over a barrage of horns and toe-tapping percussion. Unsurprisingly, the result feels just as big - - than before; the single reached number 17 in New Zealand on 17 October 2013 and number 22 in Australia three days later.

On 27 October, it debuted at number two behind "Royals" by Lorde. The song's official music video was directed by Emil Nava and was uploaded to YouTube on 19 September 2013, it features Arthur performing at a street gig

The 2010 Copa Sudamericana Finals was the final two-legged tie that determined Independiente as the 2010 Copa Sudamericana champion. It was played on December 1 and 8, 2010 between Brazilian club Goiás and the Argentine champion Independiente; the final was played over two legs. The higher seeded team played the second leg at home; the team that accumulates the most points —three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss— after the two legs was crowned the champion. The away-goals rule was not used. After the two teams were tied on points after the second leg, the team with the best goal difference had won. If the two teams have equal goal difference, extra time was used; the extra time consisted of two 15-minute halves. The tie was still not broken, a penalty shoot-out ensued according to the Laws of the Game
