    Parliament as a Law Maker

    A main strength of the parliament is its ability to delegate law-making powers to subordinate bodies such as local councils. This is especially important because for a law to be effective it needs to reflect the values of the community and the parliament (whether the federal parliament or the state parliament) will look at the whole state or the whole country as a community whereas a subordinate body is able to break down each individual community and create laws that reflect the values and beliefs of that particular society. Parliament is also able to create effective laws through the use of…

    The Uk Parliament Is Increasingly Dominated by the Executive

    The executive is made up of the Prime Minister (PM) acting in place on the monarch and a group of ministers known as the PMs Cabinet. All cabinet members (including the PM) are members’ of the Privy Council and must also be members of the Commons or the Lord’s, by convention most being from the Commons.

The executive has many functions, such as the power of patronage which is vested in the PM, the setting of the agenda for government and the prioritising of legislation. The close union between the executive and the legislature is prima facie, a potential for abuse as liberal democratic theory calls for a separation between powers.…

    Democracy Vs Presidential Democracy

    Second, in the contemporary time frame, there must be about general grown-ups right to vote. As of not long ago, this was far from being true since a few countries that were generally considered popular governments avoided a huge part of the grown-up population (e.g., Switzerland rejected ladies), but this does not occur anymore. Next, there must be assurances of civil rights, for example, the right to speak freely, opportunity of association, due procedure of law, and so on. (Mainwaring, 1990) A presidential democracy has only two features. Firstly, the head of government is independently chosen by legislature because the elections and the post elections discussions do not bring executive power. If the chief executive is chosen by the legislature, the system becomes parliamentary and not presidential. Coming to the presidential system, the president is specifically chosen and his or her official power is adjusted by a lawmaking body that is independent of the president since it, as well, is chosen and elected. The president, alone among every one of the authorities of the state, has general duty regarding open decisions of hiring officials. He or she may choose priests or cabinet…
