Westminster System | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

The Westminster system is a type of parliamentary government modeled after the Parliament of the United Kingdom, characterized by an executive branch responsible to the legislature, parliamentary opposition parties, and a ceremonial head of state. This system has been adopted by many former British colonies and continues to shape governance around the world. The Westminster system is often contrasted with the presidential system of the United States and the semi-presidential system of France, as seen in the works of [[john-locke|John Locke]] and [[montesquieu|Montesquieu]].
