CHAPTER- EXECUTIVE

1.In a democracy, the Government is divided into three organs:

 The Legislative

 The Executive

 The Judiciary

2.The legislature and the executive are interdependent in a parliamentary

system. The legislature frames the laws and the executive enforces them to

run the administration.

3.In such a manner, the legislature controls the executive and in turn it is

controlled by the executive.

4.Different types of executives are Parliamentary, Semi-Presidential,

Presidential, Monarchical or Ceremonial, etc.

5.A distinction can be made between the parliamentary and the presidential

executives.

6.In a parliamentary system, the real head of executive is the Prime Minister

and the President is the nominal head.

7.The Prime Minister is assisted by the Council of Ministers and advises the

President.
