Parliamentarism Electoral System

There are many things that contribute in influencing our behaviors and our views in politics. Social media, the news broadcasts, radio news, and several other media outlets are setting up their opinions and persuading the public to agree with them. Other factors including family, gender, religion, race and ethnicity, and regions, all contribute to American political attitudes and behavior. There are “rules that matter” and are: executive choice, electoral system, judicial review, filibuster, bicameralism, Presidential veto, Electoral College, federalism, and Citizens United. In the “rules that matter”, behavior plays a considerable role.
There are two types of executive choice. One is presidentialism and the second is parliamentarism. Parliamentarism

Electoral systems are important for several reasons. Firstly, there is a perception that they have an impact on the gap in the party system, and correspondingly on government effectiveness. Electoral systems may also help to ease or intensify the conflict. In addition, they help shape public policy outcomes and the behavior and influence the structures of political candidates. Whether politicians depend on voters or on their parties for aiding their careers. In plurality systems, there is only one seat per electoral district, and only one candidate can be elected from a given district. Under plurality, candidates can win a seat when they win the most votes without necessarily winning over 50 percent of the vote. Single-member plurality is like “winner takes all” type of voting. Whoever has the most votes they are elected and they have majority of the support even if they did not win majority of the votes. This is not an ideal way of having an equal government. Proportional representation, I believe, is more ideal because it requires a distribution of seats and assigns seats in proportion to votes (American Government

Bicameralism is part of the system of checks and balances and part of the functional differences in legislative governance. The House of Representatives and the Senate have different sizes, roles, and rules of operation. The House is larger and therefore has more formal rules of operation to govern debate. The Senate is smaller and relies more on informal rules, a tradition of open debate, and personal relationships. In order for a bill to become a law it must pass both houses of Congress, a fact that makes lawmaking in bicameral bodies much more complicated than in unicameral bodies (American Government p.61). The idea of checks and balances was believed that a unicameral legislature might consolidate too much power in one institution. By dividing legislative power between the House and the Senate, the two chambers would serve as checks against each other's authority, theoretically preventing either from ever gaining absolute power (Shmoop
