In countries governed by parliamentarian system there are two wings of the executive organ: the head of the state (king orpresident) and council of ministers.Most of the members of the council of ministers are also members of the parliament.

government is formed. The execute branch is dependent on the legislative organ.
On the other hand in the presidential system legislative, executive and judiciary are completely separated from each other and each organ is independent from the others. However, this does not mean that each organ work in isolation from others.
There is a close link between the executive and legislative organs in countries ruled by parliamentarian systems. There are no separate elections for the executive organ, since the executive organ stems from within the legislature.
In countries governed by parliamentarian system there are two wings of the executive organ: the head of the state (king orpresident) and council of ministers.Most of the members of the council of ministers are also members of the parliament. In any case, the prime minister has to be a member of the legislature and most of the time the leader of the political party with most of the seats in the parliament.When no political party gets the majority in the parliament, the parliamentarian system may become instable unless a coalition
government is formed. The execute branch is dependent on the legislative organ.
On the other hand in the presidential system legislative, executive and judiciary are completely separated from each other and each organ is independent from the others. However, this does not mean that each organ work in isolation from others.

Seçenekler

C
States governed by monarchies are never democratic.
D

Açıklama:
State may be a democratic one whose organs are elected by the public and that guarantees fundamental rights for its citizens. In monarchies who governs is determined by descendance. A person who is going to be the ruler of a country is determined among the members of a certain family (royal family). In a republican regime no family has a right to govern by inheritance. Republican government is also known to be the rule of the people by the people. However, there are undemocratic republican governments in the world and they call themselves republics, too. On the other hand, there are several democratic regimes with kings and queens, i.e. monarchies, whose powers are only symbolic and ceremonial. Some democratic states are governed by monarchies in Europe, e.g. United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain whereas some are republics, e.g. Germany, Austria, France, Ireland, Finland, Switzerland and Turkiye.
Every state has legislative and judicial powers. Parliaments that are legislative organs are composed of elected members most of the time. In democratic states this is a must.
In a parliamentarian system the executive organ, meaning the council of ministers, emerges out of the parliament, begins its term of office upon a vote of confidence and controlled by the parliament. P.1
