The chart below represents the steps in the process of a bill becoming a law. Use the chart to answer the following question. The image represents the process of a bill becoming a law. It shows a set of parallel lines that merge, then split into two, and then merge again. Moving left to right, the top line has boxes labeled: A, C, E, G, and H. The bottom line has boxes labeled: B, D, F, and I. Boxes A and B, C and D, E and F, H and I, are paired. G is the only box on the top line without a corresponding box on the bottom line. Continuing to move from left to right, the two lines merge into one and have one box labeled J. Then the lines separate into two parallel lines again. The top line is labeled with box K and the bottom line is labeled with box L. The two parallel lines continue to the right where they again merge into one line, with an arrow pointing to a final box labeled M.

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
