Final answer:

Jamaica's government differs from Puerto Rico's due to Jamaica's parliamentary system and Commonwealth membership.


Explanation:

Jamaica's government differs from those of other former colonies in the Caribbean, such as Puerto Rico, in various ways. Jamaica has a bicameral parliament and remains a member of the British Commonwealth, having gained independence from Britain in 1962. On the other hand, Puerto Rico became a self-governing 'commonwealth' of the United States in 1952, retaining ties to the U.S. despite having some autonomy.
