Compare and contrast a presidential versus parliamentary system. What is a pro and con of each system?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Indicate that in a presidential system, the voters select their chief executive and legislators separately. This allows people to "split the ticket" in the event they prefer an executive from one party and a legislator from another party. However, there is no guarantee that these individuals will agree on many issues.
2, Note that in a parliamentary system, the voters select their representatives and then these individuals elect a prime minister (the executive) from among those legislators. An advantage in a parliamentary system is that since the executive and legislative branches will be controlled by the same party, they are more likely to agree on issues. However, the voters do not have the ability to "split their tickets."
