The Presidential and Parliamentary systems are used around the world in order to control the government and keep the peace and safety of the country. Each system handles the operation of the executive system in different ways as they divide power between different people. Despite the major differences between branches they both manage to provide for their countries and effectively run the government. While both of these systems are successful, they are not without their faults. Each system has their advantages and disadvantages as they run the operations of their country and provide for the people (McClenaghan, 2003, p. 221). The Presidential and Parliamentary systems can both be examples of a stable and effective system of executive government.

In a Parliamentary system the executive leader of Parliament, known as the Prime Minister, is elected by the legislative branch and the majority party controlling it. The people of the country vote for the legislative branch and then they are in charge of selecting a Prime Minister to lead them and the executive branch. Should Parliament decide that they no longer like a Prime Minister than they can simply cast a vote to replace him (Long, 1949, p. 260). This system has multiple benefits that allows it to remain stable and provide for the people. One reason is that under a Parliament the legislative branch has a large control over the executive, forming them together as a larger group and allowing closer operation with one another. This means that laws can be passed easily by the legislative branch as the executive will be more likely to carry out the legislation and guarantee that it is put into effect. If the Prime Minister does not wish to cooperate than the party and simply exchange them. Another benefit of parliament is the fact that the parties have a much deeper role and allow better communication between different branches of government. By the people electing the legislative branch and the legislative choosing the president, the executive branch better represents the majority of the population. This …show more content…
In a Presidential system the executive leader or president is elected in a separate election of that of the legislative branch. This allows the two branches of government to be in control by two separate parties. While this can lead to conflict it can also help balance of the government as no one party gains two much power (Long, 1949, p. 268). One reason why the Presidential system is stable is that the independent elections of legislative and executive help keep the balance between parties. By making it possible to keep the two branches of government from being the same party, the views of both parties can be shown and system of balance can be created between the two groups. Having these groups separate allows legislation to be agreed on by all types of people instead of those of a singular thought set or party. This system allows only the important and well agreed on legislation to pass but it can also lead to gridlock and infighting between the groups as they each wish to bring their own objectives into politics. Another reason why the Presidential system is stable is that there are multiple layers of checks and balances used in order to keep the government fair. By having the distinct separation of executive and legislative it allows legislation to be thoroughly checked and understood before
