Question

Compare the Parliamentary and Presidential forms of Government with reference to the U.K and the U.s.a for 20 pages

Answer 1

In a parliamentary system of government, as happens in the United Kingdom, the legislative and executive components are the same. The prime minister is the head of the executive branch and is a part of the legislative branch. He/she performs his/her duties with the help of a council of ministers, all of whom are members of the legislature. The prime minister is elected by the elected representatives and not directly by the citizens. The legislature can impeach the prime minister or bring a no-confidence motion. The prime minister can resign and force a re-election if no other party is in a condition to form government.

In a presidential system, as in the United States, the legislative and executive components are separate. The president is the head of the state and head of the executive branch and has supreme authority. The president carries out his responsibilities through a set of hand-picked secretaries or ministers, who are not the members of the legislature and serve at his pleasure and can be dismissed whenever the president deems fit. The president and his council do not necessarily have to answer to the legislature and the president can veto any decision of the legislative branch.
