5. If the United States were a parliamentary
democracy, which of the following would be
most likely to occur?
A. The office of the president would decrease in
power.
B. The office of the president would increase in
power.
C. The president would be elected by a
majority vote of all citizens.
D. The president would be appointed by the
majority party in the parliament.

A democratic form of government known as a "parliamentary system" is one in which the party (or coalition of parties) with the most representation in the legislature forms the government, with its leader serving as the prime minister or chancellor.

Thus, Option C is correct.

What exactly do parliamentary and presidential mean?

The head of state in a parliamentary system is often a different person from the head of government. In contrast, in a presidential system, the executive branch does not receive its democratic legitimacy from the legislative and the head of state frequently doubles as the head of government.

As opposed to being kept distinct as a check on each other's power, as the Founding Fathers of the United States desired in the U.S. Constitution, the executive and legislative parts of a parliamentary government are linked.
