Correct answer: "In the former, the same people have equal voice on executive and legislative issues; in the latter, different people decide executive and legislative issues."

Explanation: In the commission form, elected commissioners both legislate and individually administer city departments, so the same officials exercise executive and legislative powers. In the council-manager form, the elected council (legislative/policy) hires a professional manager to run day-to-day administration (executive), separating those roles.
