What Is a Parliamentary Republic Government?

By Staff WriterLast Updated March 29, 2020

A parliamentary republic government is a government system that operates under a parliamentary system where an executive branch is held accountable to the legislature. The majority of these governments are led by a head of state while others are led by a mixed leadership of a head of state plus the government head.

This type of government can be dissolved by the parliament if it believes the leader can no longer perform his duties to the best of his ability or it can be dissolved by the head of state if the individual believes the government can no longer function as intended.
