Democracy There are TWO types of Democratic
governments in the world
1. Presidential2. Parliamentary
Sounds easy enough. So if you have a president, you’re Presidential and if you have a parliament, you’re Parliamentary??
Ehhh…not exactly. Let me explain…
Parliamentary Democracy
Citizens vote for members of the legislative branch, and then the legislature chooses the leader The citizens DO NOT DO NOT get to directly choose
the leader They have to vote on members of
legislature first, and then those representatives choose the leader
Head of government and head of state are TWO different people
Examples: United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia
Presidential Citizens usually vote for members of the
executive AND legislative branch Citizens directly vote for the
leader A single person is elected as the leader This person is both head of government
(chief executive) and head of state
Examples: U.S.A., Russia, Mexico
Presidential Unique thing about this type:
there’s a separation of powers between the branches of government
The leader is constitutionally independent of the legislature Example: the leader does not make
the laws, the legislature does
Let’s Review… Parliamentary: Citizens do not vote
directly for the leader. They vote on the legislature, then the legislature chooses the leader.
Presidential: Citizens directly vote on the leader.
Which would you prefer to participate in??
