Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Council-Manager System

• This form of government works similarly to a company or corporation that is listed on the stock exchange.
• In this system a governing body is organized that in most cases we know under the name of "municipal council".
• Legislative functions are assigned to a person named as the "manager". His role is similar to that of a company director and is expected to manage the board of directors.
• It is also common for another person to be assigned the role of "mayor", especially in a symbolic manner and if compared to the operation of a company, he would serve as a non-executive president.

Commission System

• In this system of government people choose by vote different persons (commissioners) to work in a specific group or board of government.
• Each one of these elected persons assumes a responsibility according to the needs.
• A commissioner can be appointed as "president" or "mayor" and his role is to lead the meetings.
• This group or commission has legislative and executive functions.
