Which one of the following is the most important characteristic of a Parliamentary Government ?

  • A.Majority Rule
  • B.Rule of Law
  • C.Direct election of Member of Parliament
  • D.Collective responsibility of the Executive to the Legislature

Answer: D

The most important characteristic of parliamentary government is the collective responsibility of the executive to the legislature: the cabinet holds office only as long as it enjoys the confidence of the lower house, and it resigns as a body if it loses that confidence. Majority rule and the rule of law are found in presidential systems too, and direct election of members of the legislature is not peculiar to parliamentary systems. So option D is the keyed answer.
