A parliamentary form of government is a democratic form of government in which citizens elect their representatives to a parliament that makes laws. The party with the largest representation in the parliament forms the government, and the leader of that party becomes the Prime Minister, who is the real head of the government. The President is the nominal/formal head of the government. In this system, the legislature at the center level is known as Parliament, and the executive is formed out of the legislature. The members of the executive, such as the Prime Minister, Chief Minister, and the Ministers, are selected from the legislature. One of the main features of the parliamentary system is that the executive is responsible and answerable to the legislature. The primary function of the parliament is to make laws, and it holds power and authority in this form of government. India is an example of a country that follows a parliamentary system of government.
