Mexico's justice system is  plagued by delays and corruption. The Mexican Constitution says Mexican citizens are Mexican nationals who are 18 or older. It also says you must have an honest way of living. Citizens can vote in all elections and be elected in all elections. They can also gather in groups for political affairs of the nation. To enlist in the Mexican army or  national guard to defend, you must be a citizen. exercising the right of petition is also okay when you are a citizen.

With the election for president, the candidate with a plurality of votes is the winner. The president can only serve 1 6-year term and can not participate in the elections for a second term. At local level, a governor is elected for each of Mexico's 31 states for a 6-year term. The first chamber of congress, the Chamber of Deputies, elects 500 members, each for a 3-year term. The second  chamber of congress,  the Chamber of Senators has 128 members elected  each for a 6-year term. Since the president of Mexico can only serve a single six-year term, every presidential election in Mexico is non-incumbent. This just means the president before the election can't be a candidate.

Korea is a dictatorship and while Mexico does have a president, there is 3 branches to the government, 2 in which have over 300 members. Mexico has a constitution that gives citizens many rights, much more than the amount of rights Korean's are given. Koreans are given absurd laws that limit their living because they don't want their citizens seeing the outside world and the rights other countries give their citizens. Unlike Korea, Mexico gives their citizens reasonable rights and restrictions. In Mexico the leaders are elected by the people, while Korea is a monarchy. This is also a big difference because the decision making for the country is only made by 1 person in Korea which could lead to many problems. Generally having more decision- makers is better because the answer will be better.
