Read the following statement made by President Jimmy Carter at the signing of the Civil Service Reform Act on October 13, 1978, in Santa Barbara, California, and respond to the question that follows. History will regard the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 as one of the most important laws enacted by this Congress. Congress has done an extraordinary job in shaping this landmark legislation and enacting it in just over 7 months. This legislation will bring fundamental improvements to the Federal personnel system. It puts merit principles into statute and defines prohibited personnel practices. It establishes a Senior Executive Service and bases the pay of executives and senior managers on the quality of their performance. It provides a more sensible method for evaluating individual performance. It gives managers more flexibility and more authority to hire, motivate, reward, and discipline employees to ensure that the public's work gets done. At the same time, it provides better protection for employees against arbitrary actions and abuses and contains safeguards against political intrusion. The act assures that whistleblowers will be heard, and that they will be protected from reprisal for their courage.

What was the president referring to when he referred to whistleblowers?

A whistleblower is a member of an inter-department committee staffed by employees with legal expertise who are responsible for alerting all staff to new policies and practices.

A whistleblower is a senior executive who will not be penalized for removing non-productive employees so long as he or she can justify his organizational decisions.

A whistleblower is an employee who files a formal complaint with the OPM or other regulatory board about an ongoing or specific violation of personnel policy.

A whistleblower is a disruptive employee who is either disciplined or demoted for his or her actions which disrupt the workplace or their department specifically.

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.
