Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parliamentary system, the prime minister is the chief executive and is selected by the legislature (usually the majority party or coalition). This is different from the American system where the president is elected separately from the legislature and serves as both head of state and head of government. The European, colonial, and federalist systems do not necessarily have a consistent model for selecting a chief executive.
