Notes:

Explanation: The Constitution of India provides for a parliamentary form of government, both at the Centre and in the states.

Articles 74 and 75 deal with the parliamentary system at the Centre and Articles 163 and 164 in the states.
Modern democratic governments are classified into parliamentary and presidential on the basis of nature of relations between the executive and the legislative organs of the government.
The parliamentary system of government is the one in which the executive is responsible to the legislature for its policies and acts.
The presidential system of government, on the other hand, is one in which the executive is not responsible to the legislature for its policies and acts, and is constitutionally independent of the legislature in respect of its term of office.
