·no clear separation of governmental powers. · head of government is usually a prime minister. · head of state is often a king or queen. · examples are the united kingdom, belgium, and australia. this is a description of what type of government system? a) autocratic b) oligarchic c) parliamentary d) presidential

The correct answer is C. Parliamentary

Explanation:

In parliamentary government, the legislative power is held by a group of individuals of the same party or the Parliament. Besides this, the government's head is the Prime minister, who leads actions in the legislative and executive branch according to the parliament, and in some cases according to a King or Queen (Head of the state). This government differs from a democratic system because instead of having three defined separated powers the power is held by different figures that include the Prime Minister, the monarch and the parliament.

This means the description refers to a parliamentary system because in this system, there is no clear separation of powers, and the heads are the Prime Minister and the King or Queen. Also, it is in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Australia where this system exists.

the united states constitution defines the structure of the national government and dictates the scope and limitation of its powers. the constitution is known as “the supreme law of the land” and all other laws are measured against it. the application of the articles and amendments of the constitution comprise constitutional law.

in addition to the united states constitution, each state has its own constitution and therefore, its own body of constitutional law as well. state constitutions resemble the federal constitution in that they outline the state government’s structure of legislative, executive and judicial branches as well as contain a bill of rights.

but there are various ways state constitutions differ from the federal constitution. often, state constitutions are much longer and more detailed than the federal constitution. state constitutions focus more on limiting rather than granting power since its general authority has already been established. as a result, the constitution of alabama is six hundred pages long whereas the federal constitution can be easily read in one sitting front to back.

the details in state constitutions are not particularly “constitutional” in nature. they often address topics unique to the state. the federal constitution can only be amended through a lengthy process designed to limit changes to this fundamental document. as a result, it has only been amended seventeen times since the adoption of the bill of rights in 1791.

state constitutions are more open to amendments. amendments can be proposed by legislature, a constitutional commission or citizens’ petition and can be accepted by referendum.   for example. the constitution of massachusetts has been amended one hundred and twenty times. the constitution of georgia has even been replaced altogether as many as ten times.
