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??
