It was mainly due to our unpreparedness for such an attack. We were totally unprepared and most of our ammo and equipment were stored somewhere else instead of the ships or in safely stored in locked cages, according to peacetime regulations. Prior to Pearl Harbor, intelligence officers suspected that the Japanese might strike the U.S. territory, but they highly suspect it would be the Philippines, not Hawaii, because no one could have thought that the Japanese would come a thousand of miles from their country to Hawaii and bypass our military bases in islands which were near Japan. At the same time, we were negotiating with the Japanese Empire for peace negotiations while the Japanese secretly planned a major airstrike upon U.S. targets behind our backs. Tokyo have always signaled warnings for peace so we took the offer seriously and without conditions, giving us the impression that we were on the right road.

Many of the military men at Pearl Harbor as well as the civilians in the city of Honolulu were just living there lives as usual as any regular day until the sounds of planes roared over the Hawaiian skies and blast away the ships and other targets, and sent the city's population in fear and anger. We were not at war and we didn't expect that a foreign nation would came in to strike upon our soil.

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
