ENDURING UNDERSTANDING:
The structure and function of political institutions reflect the allocation of power
within a political system.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Compare institutional relations
among parliamentary,
presidential, and semi-presidential systems.
ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE:
Although parliamentary systems have fewer
institutional obstacles to enact policy than
presidential systems (presidential systems
have divided branch powers), parliamentary
systems have their own checks on the
executive branch.
Parliaments may censure cabinet ministers,
refuse to pass executive proposed legislation,
question the executive and cabinet ministers,
and impose time deadlines on calling
new elections.
