What classification of government distinguishes between presidential and parliamentary government?

How power is distributed is the classification of government that distinguishes among presidential and parliamentary government. Moreover, some writers do not make any difference between state and government.

EXPLANATION:  

Some writers use government and state in the same sense and at the same time provide a classification of the state. Modern writers disagree with this type of classification.

According to some writers, there should be no state classification, because all states are the same in four traits—population, government, territory, and sovereignty—are important for all states. The American writer Willoughby argues that there can be no states classification; states can only be classified by the administration. In fact, the classification of governments is the states’ classification. The state expresses its wishes through the government. L e a c  *  *  k and Gilchrist also approve that there must be a government classification.

Aristotle’s classification of states is according to two principles:

1.    The number of persons who train supreme power;

2.    The culminations they search for serving self-interest or profit of the community.

Aristotle believed that when the rulers targeted the good of the community, the states would become a pure form of the state. When the rulers in such a state became self-centered, that state would be called a p e r v e r t e d state.

According to Aristotle, if sovereignty is in one person, it is Monarchy. The form of p e r v e r t e d is Tyranny. If sovereignty exists in a small minority of the people, that is Aristocracy. If the sovereign power exists in a large part of the population, it is polity. The form of p e r v e r t e d is Democracy. If this small minority utilizes sovereignty for its own self-centered ends, that is the Oligarchy.
