How do the two systems of Democracy differ as far as branches of government
are concerned? It is different in so many ways the legislature holds supreme power. The prime minister is chosen by the members of the legislature. The cabinet members must also belong to the legislature. If the prime minister loses the support of the majority in the legislature on a significant vote, he or she must resign, and elections are called immediately. In the United States, elections are held at fixed intervals, in Britain and other parliamentary countries, they may occur at any time, the only restriction being that they must be held at least once every five years.
B. Regarding elections, how do the systems compare? The two systems are similar in election because the president is elected by the people while the prime minister is elected by the parliament which are representatives of the people. In a parliamentary government the people vote for the parties vote of the president. Both leaders are elected and both are limited power that must be shared by the congress or the parliament.
C. Do their leaders share similar terms in office? Explain in complete sentence format.
Both leaders have the same term length, but the prime minister can run for as many times as he or she want. But the president can only run for 2 terms at most.
D. What are the "advantages" of each system of government? [at least two each] The presidential system has direct elections by the people, stability, and since the president has a lot of power he can make decisions fast and decisively. In a parliamentary government legislative actions are passed more quickly and it is easier to remove a bad leader from power.
E. Identify a disadvantage" of each system.
Disadvantages are that it is difficult to remove a president of power early and due to the separation of powers it is harder to pass policies or laws. The disadvantages of a parliamentary system are that people dont know who the prime minister is that they voted for.
