Step-by-step explanation:

Parliamentary system

  • The legislative body elects the Prime Minister and makes the laws.
  • The head of state is normally different from the head of government.

Presidential system

  • The people elect the President.
  • The President is a representative of the State and Head of Government.
  • Legislators may represent a different option than the one represented by the president.
  • The president chooses his/her ministers.
