This discussion compares the benefits and liabilities of Presidential and Parliamentary systems of democracy. It discusses the differences in the election of the chief executive and the legislative and executive branches present in the parliamentary system. The US President has a wide range of authority and power, but encounters certain limitations created by the standards of the separation of authorities in the constitution. In parliamentary systems, the chief executive is primarily elected by the citizens and not by the legislature. Furthermore, the combination of the legislative and executive branches present in the parliamentary system primarily aims to advance to an extensive amount of regulations among political party members.
