Presidential and Parliamentary Executives
In Chapter 6, the authors compare the presidential and parliamentary executives in democracies. Read the chapter including the passages, “An Independent Prime Minister” (pages 173-4), “2010: The Hung Parliament and Mixed Cabinet” (pages 175-176) and “Parliamentary or Presidential?” (page 178). Answer the following questions: What is the difference between a parliamentary and a presidential system? What are the pros and cons of the parliamentary system? Do you think one system is more inclusive (i.e. allows more participation) than the other? Why? Identify a country with a parliamentary system (other than Great Britain and India). How many parties share power in the government? How difficult is it to form a government in that country? Do you think a parliamentary system could work in the United States? Why or why not?
