Parliament Structure
The main advantage of the parliamentary form of government is that
C.the executive remains responsible to the legislature.
A.the executive and legislature work independently.
D.the head of the government cannot be changed without election.
B.it provides continuity of policy and is more efficient.
Correct Answer: Option C
The key advantage of a parliamentary form of government is that the executive (Council of Ministers) remains responsible to the legislature (Parliament). This ensures accountability and responsiveness of the government to the elected representatives of the people.
In a parliamentary system, the executive derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislature. The legislature can remove the executive through a vote of no confidence.
Options (a), (b), and (d) do not accurately describe the advantages of a parliamentary system.
Hence, option c is correct.
