Checks and Balances are applied primarily in constitutional governments. They are of fundamental importance in tripartite governments, such as that of the United States of America,which separate powers among the judicial legislative and executive branches.

Answer 2

Best answer: The members of the executive branch are also members of parliament.

In a parliamentary system, the main executive branch office is that of the prime minister. The prime minister is the leader of whichever party receives the greatest number of seats in parliament when elections are held. So there is a direct connection between parliamentary power and executive power.

As far as how cabinet members are appointed, that varies within parliamentary systems. In the British system, cabinet members are appointed from sitting members of parliament. In some other systems (such as Switzerland or Belgium), cabinet members must then give up their posts in parliament so that there is a bit more separation between the legislative and executive branches of government.
