Question

Which of the following statements about Parliamentary Democracies is incorrect?

• A. The executive and legislative bodies are interdependent
• B. The relationship between the executive and legislative branches is usually peaceful
• C. The relationship between the executive and legislative branches is usually strained
• D. Formulation of long-term policies can be difficult in such systems

Answer 1

The correct option is C The relationship between the executive and legislative branches is usually strained

In Parliamentary systems, the legislative and executive bodies share a peaceful relationship because they are interdependent. The legislative body makes laws and the executive branch is responsible for implementing them. In a Presidential Democracy, however, the two organs are seperate. Hence, they often share a strained relationship.
