Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Members of Parliament (in parliamentary systems) often have less independence than members of Congress (in the U.S. system) because they are more strictly controlled by party discipline and the need to support their government to maintain its majority, whereas members of Congress can more freely express and vote according to their or their constituents' views without directly endangering the government's stability.
