Explanation:

To answer these questions, we can use knowledge of government systems (from the field of Politics, a subfield of Social Science) and the provided tutorial link (which likely has the needed information). Here are the answers based on standard civics/government knowledge:

Review: Forms of Government? (slide 3)

• What questions does a form of government ask?

A form of government asks: Who rules? How do they rule? Who has power? (Or more specifically: Who is in charge? How are laws made? Who has authority?)

• Which form of government is ruled by the people of the country?

Democracy (specifically, direct or representative democracy).

• Which form of government is ruled by the king or queen?

Monarchy (specifically, absolute or constitutional monarchy).

Review: Systems of government (slide 4)

• Government systems are rules explaining how the [government] functions. (Fills in the blank.)
• How does power flow between central and regional governments?
• Unitary: Power is centralized; the central government holds most or all power, and regional governments have limited authority (delegated by the central government).
• Federal: Power is shared between a central government and regional (state/provincial) governments; both have independent authority in their areas.
• Confederation: Power is held primarily by regional governments; the central government is weak and exists to coordinate the regions (e.g., historical Confederation of States).

Presidential v. Parliamentary (slide 7)

• What does the legislative branch do?

Makes laws (e.g., passes legislation, approves budgets, oversees the executive branch).

• What does the executive branch do?

Enforces laws (e.g., the president/prime minister and their administration carry out laws, manage day - to - day governance).

• Both Presidential and Parliamentary systems are which FORM of government?

Democracy (they are both forms of democratic government, with representative elements).

• In a presidential system, citizens vote for which 2 things?

1. The president (executive branch leader).
2. Legislators (members of the legislative branch, like Congress in the US).

• In a parliamentary system, citizens only vote for

Members of the legislative branch (e.g., Parliament); the executive (prime minister and cabinet) is selected from the legislative branch.
