explain parliamentary form of govt....

Answer 1

PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT—

___________________________

In a Parliamentary form of government there is a nominal head of state. This nominal head may be a hereditary monarch, as in the case of the United Kingdom (UK), or an elected president, as in the case of India. The queen of the United Kingdom and the president of India are heads of state in name only. Though decisions are taken in their name, the real power lies in the hands of the Prime Minister and his or her Council of Ministers who are members of the Parliament. Hence, India and the UK are called parliamentary democracies.

In a parliamentary democracy, the three branches of government, namely, the legislature, the executive and the judiciary are independent of each other. There is a clear-cut separation of power between the three branches of government. The executive is answerable to the legislature for its actions. Both the executive and the legislature are in turn answerable to the judiciary.
