Parliamentary or Presidential Government can be distinguished

Home » Indian Polity » Indian polity miscellaneous » Question

Parliamentary or Presidential Government can be distinguished mainly by

1. its federal nature
2. the rigidity of the Constitution
3. the employer-employee relations
4. the legislative-executive relations

Correct Option: D

In a parliamentary system, the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from, and is held accountable to, the legislature; the executive and legislative branches are thus interconnected. In a presidential system, the head of state often is also the head of government, and the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.
