Definition:
relating to a form of democracy where the chief executive is selected by and answerable to and the legislature
In the United States, the chief executive (president) is elected separately from the legislative branch (congress). In a parliamentary system, the chief executive (prime minister) is selected by the majority party of the legislative branch (parliament). Many democracies, such as France, have a hybrid parliamentary/presidential system in which an elected president shares power with a prime minister.
