Parliamentary vs Presidential System of Government Explained 

You're such an awesome teacher and this you video has really aid me in understanding the forms of government. Thank You, Mr. Cartwright.

There are also systems which are a mix of the unitary and federal systems called quasi-federal system

Thank you!! this explanation was so much easier to understand. I have to write an essay and I was having trouble understanding how a parliamentary system works. Thank you again.

thank you! this was tremendously helpful

What about semi-presidential systems like France or Russia?

thank you! that was helpful

9:45 *vote of NO confidence

Hoping for the Philippines to have a Federal Parliamentary System.

Wow!!!Thanks for this. Helped me .

the presidential system seems to be very cumbersome in terms of passing laws because of too many gates that need to be passed through and get approval from...

Excellent

You saved me

"We talked about this in class" 77k people: *interesting*

thanks sir

very helpful thank you very much

Im glad to watch this video mr. Cartwright but can you give a summary to understand more about this video thanks

Can you explain directl election of president

some countries required the prime minister to be part pairlianat and some don't

Interesting explanation, but are countries that have 5 powers and not only 3, as majority of people think or represents when it comes to presidential system. Venezuela has 5 public powers.

Local authorities /councils have the power to levy rates (land/property tax) which largely fund local projects and administration. Cabinet members are chosen from the elected members of parliament, not appointed by the president from unelected persons. Similarly public servants and ambassadors retain their posts rather than be replaced in "jobs for the boys" shake ups, which give continuity and a professionalism in upper administration and international relations.

So you vote for a Party (ex. Republican) and they choose who is in Legislative Branch?

good

I don't think the UK still follows the Law Lords system anymore. *Moreover*, many Parliamentary systems (such as India) don't follow this form of Judiciary. Please don't coat all systems in the same way as there are different Parliamentary systems and the UK is not the best example of a Parliamentary system in the first place. Moreover, the Judiciary in the US is connected to the Executive and Legislature since the Chief Justice is appointed by the President and approved by the Senate, which is something you forgot to mention. There are many faults with the video while explaining Parliamentary system, and the tone is so biased in favor of the Presidential system (I guess coz this guy is American). The American Judiciary is notorious for interpreting the Constitution and have passed laws on their own, which is the job of the Legislature (i.e., the Congress). It's better to avoid inclined/biased tones while teaching a subject/topic. (Read up on "Judicial Review" people) Please take whatever he says, with an asterisk (implying a "but") and read up on it yourself. Do explore other countries besides the US and the UK, to understand how different they all are. Some countries to explore: Germany France Japan Brazil India Pakistan Mexico Canada Australia

7:42 - B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. If you're the Leader of the Party that gets a majority in Parliament, even though you are not elected, you still can be asked by Her Majesty (or in the case of Commonwealth Realms, the Governor General) to form a Government even though you have have no foot in the House of Commons. A good example of this is in Québec, 1985 general election. The Liberal Party won by landslide but its leader, Robert Bourassa, was not elected in his riding. the Lieutenant Governor (Provincial equivalent to the Gov. General) still asked him to form the Government even though he was not elected. Following the tradition one of his backbenchers left and Bourassa ran unopposed (the other parties offered no candidates against him) in a by-election. The fact that the PM has to be elected is something we call PARLIAMENTARY TRADITION, non-written rules that are purely political. The entire parliamentary system is based on these traditions. Some of them evolve, others does not. Others are overrun by laws that replace them. in Commonwealth Realms these tradition are partially codified in the Constitution of the country, even though most of them does not explain who and what is a Prime Minister nor how the Cabinet works. In a preamble paragraph it establishes that the Colony wished to become a Dominion with a functioning similar to the one of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Whales and (Northern) Ireland, which is, as I said, not codified, non-written and purely political (the UK has no constitution. You can say that the UK's constitution is pretty much Her Majesty's will). To nail the coffin, the Government's party, like any other parties has Leader in the parliament, purely distinct from the PM or the entire executive branch (which is also by tradition chosen from elected MPs). He is usually considered as the PM's Pitbull.
