Democracy Systems and Their Functions

The video tutorial explains the differences between presidential and parliamentary democracies. In a parliamentary democracy, the prime minister is elected by the party, not the public, and legislation is passed more easily due to party alignment. In contrast, a presidential system has a single leader elected by the people, making it harder to pass laws due to potential party differences. The video also highlights the stability and power dynamics in both systems and briefly mentions other government types.
