This UCSP class module discusses different types of government systems. This module focuses on the pure government systems, namely the presidential and parliamentary systems. Presidential systems have branching offices that coexist with separate powers and function through a combination of independence and interdependence (checks and balances), while parliamentary systems have a fusion of executive and legislative branches.
This module also explains how power is distributed based on each government branch, all the way to the local government units (LGUs).
