Answer 1

Answer: (e)-The prime minister is not chosen directly by the people, whereas the president is chosen by the people via a "one person, one vote" system.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is appointed by the monarch as the best to command the confidence of the House of Commons, although is usually the head of the political party holdings the most seats in the chamber.

Americans have a general election to vote for president. But the popular vote does not decide the winner, because presidential elections require the Electoral College.

To become president, a candidate needs a majority of electoral votes.
