Democracy Types and Voting Processes

The video tutorial discusses two types of democracies: presidential and parliamentary. In a presidential democracy, like in the USA, citizens vote for both legislative members and the president. In a parliamentary democracy, like in the UK, citizens vote for parliament members, who then select the prime minister.
