The document provides an overview of the parliamentary system of government. It begins by defining a parliamentary system as one where the majority party in parliament forms the government and the executive and legislative powers are merged. As an example, it discusses the UK system where the prime minister is appointed by parliament. It then summarizes Bangladesh's parliamentary system, noting its unicameral legislature, direct elections, and role of the president. The document explains that under a parliamentary system, the prime minister is elected by the legislature and can be removed through a no-confidence vote. It lists some advantages as faster decision making and reduced friction between branches, and some disadvantages as potential instability and overpowered legislators.

4. WHAT IS PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT?
We can say, it’s a form of
government in which the
majority party in parliament
constitutes governmental power.
The executive powers and
legislative powers are merged
because the legislative branch
(parliament) elects the prime
minister who serves as the
executive branch of government
(head of government). In this
systems, people elect only
parliamentary members and not
the prime minister.

5. WHAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF A
PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT ?
A well-known example of a
parliamentary government is
the United Kingdom where
parliamentary governments
originated. In the U.K.,
executive power belongs to a
prime minister who is
appointed by the parliament.
There is also an non-elected
head of state (monarch), who
performs only ceremonial or
symbolic functions and does
not have real political power.

6. LETS KNOW THE PARLIAMENTARY
SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH :
The parliament of Bangladesh, called the Jatiya
Sangsad (House of the Nation). It’s a
unicameral entity consisting of some 350 seats,
most of which are filled through direct election.
The remaining seats are reserved for women;
these members are elected by the parliament
itself. Legislators serve five-year terms. The
parliament elects the president, who also serves
a five-year term, with a two-term limit. The
president then appoints the leader of the
legislative majority party (or coalition) as prime
minister. This government has 3 organs.
• Legislature - Make the law
• Executive - Implement the law
• Judiciary - Interprets the law

8. HOW DOES A PARLIAMENTARY
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WORK ?
Under a parliamentary government,
the head of government (prime
minister) is elected by the
legislature and can be removed
from office at any time through a
procedure called "vote of no
confidence." In The parliament of
Bangladesh, this process is called
Ovishongson (অভিশংসন). As a
result, government must always
have support of the legislative
majority, which means that it is
often easy to change policy.
However, sometimes parties do not
easily agree who should be elected
prime minister, which might result in
government instability.
