Political science

Select one of the case study parliamentary examples presented at the end of Chapter 14 in our textbook (either "Parliamentary Government in India," pp. 331-334 or "Parliamentary Government in Germany," pp. 334-336), and compare it to either the "Presidential Government in Mexico" located on pages 358-360, or use the United States as the presidential system case example.

Address the following questions in your analysis of the two case study examples:

- Briefly describe the parliamentary system of the case study you have selected.

- Describe the key characteristics and functions of the country's parliament.

- Describe some of the strengths and weaknesses of the country's parliament. How do these strengths and weaknesses align with the advantages and disadvantages of a parliamentary system described in our textbook?

- Briefly describe the presidential system of the case study you have selected. PS 2000, Introduction to Political Science 3

- Describe the key characteristics and functions of the country's presidential system.

- Describe some of the strengths and weaknesses of the country's presidential system. How do these strengths and weaknesses align with the advantages and disadvantages of a presidential system described in our textbook?
