relationship between the national or central government and the smaller governmental
divisions (states, provinces, counties, regions, and cities)

regional authorities.

8 Review questions
HWK – Review for quiz on Thursday
• In both a presidential and parliamentary democracy, the power of the central government is balanced by dividing it between separate branches
• In a presidential democracy the legislative branch and the executive branch are independent of each other– This means that they are elected separately
from each other
• Citizens vote to elect their representatives in the legislature
– Citizens vote again to elect their executive leader (president)

Compare / Contrast President versus Parliament
Graphic Organizer – 3 countries of SW Asia
• In a parliamentary democracy the legislative and executive branches are NOT independent of each other– Citizens vote to elect their representatives in
the legislature (parliament)– But, citizens do NOT vote to elect their
executive leader
– Citizens vote to elect their representatives in the legislature (parliament) but, citizens do NOT vote again to elect their executive leader
• So, in presidential democracy the executive and legislative branches are elected separately by the citizens.
• In parliamentary democracy, the citizens only vote once to elect the legislature…– So, how does parliamentary democracy get its
executive leader if the citizens don’t elect one?
• Just like in a presidential democracy, there are different, opposing, political parties in a parliamentary democracy (like republicans & democrats here in the United States)
• And, just like in a presidential democracy, representatives in a parliamentary democracy come from different political parties
• Once elections are completed for the Parliament, the political party with the most members in parliament are called ‘the majority party’
• The leader of this ‘majority party’ then becomes head of the executive branch, the Prime Minister
• The Prime Minister is their head of the executive branch
– The head of state in a parliamentary democracy is usually a monarch of some sort
– The head of state is the chief representative of the country to other countries.
– This person has ceremonial duties and serves as a symbol for the country
– Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is an example: she serves as a symbol for the United Kingdom and is officially “Queen of the United Kingdom”
