Question

15. What is the difference between the strong-mayor and weak-mayor forms of city government? (1 point)

In a weak-mayor government, citizens make all the major decisions but don't have a voice in the strong-

mayor system.

In a strong-mayor government, power is given to an executive, and in a weak-mayor government, the city council has more power.

Strong-mayor governments are run by a city council, and weak-mayor governments are run by the people.

Weak-mayor governments are run by one elected official, and strong-mayor governments are run by citizens
, but with more power given to the elected mayor or executive. The strong-mayor form concentrates power in the executive, giving them control over the budget, appointments, and veto power, while the weak-mayor system typically has a ceremonial mayor with limited powers and decision-making authority held by the city council or other elected officials.
