What is a parliamentary democracy in Canada?
A system where the president is elected directly by the people
A monarchy without a parliamentary system
A system where people elect members to the House of Commons and to provincial and territorial legislatures
A direct democracy where citizens vote on all laws
The correct answer is: A system where people elect members to the House of Commons and to provincial and territorial legislatures
In a parliamentary democracy, citizens do not directly elect a president like in a presidential democracy. Additionally, Canada is a constitutional monarchy, meaning it has a parliamentary system with a monarch as the head of state. A direct democracy, as mentioned in option D, is not the same as a parliamentary democracy as it involves citizens voting on all laws instead of electing representatives to do so.
