Abstract :
This paper examines the major differences between the presidential and
parliamentary governmental systems. Since the conclusion of World
War, I, democratic movements have spread throughout Europe and, of
course, the world. Democratic states arose from previous monarchs and
colonial regimes, necessitating the creation of a governing structure
that would suit the majority of the new states. States with absolute
monarchs prefer the presidential or semi-presidential system, while
states with constitutional monarchies, such as the United Kingdom,
prefer the parliamentary system. Pakistan, on the other hand, has
chosen parliamentary government. To begin, this study looks at a basic
overview of both presidential and parliamentary systems and separation
of powers, as well as brief summaries of each. Second, it focuses on the
orientation of Pakistani system of government and the US governmental
system. Finally, this article analyses why Pakistan's parliamentary
system failed and which type of administration is best suited to the
country. The methodology used in this work is descriptive, and it is
carried out using a qualitative research design that is more
phenomenological and hermeneutic in nature. The qualitative doctrinal
research design is used to examine the topic from several perspectives.
The study relies on secondary data such as academic books, government
publications, articles, journals, magazines, and reports etc.
