1 answer

The main difference between parliamentary and presidential forms of democracies is the way in which the executive branch of government is chosen. In a parliamentary system, the executive branch is chosen by the legislature, while in a presidential system, the executive branch is chosen by the people through direct elections. Additionally, in a parliamentary system, the executive branch is accountable to the legislature, while in a presidential system, the executive branch is independent of the legislature.
