		In most parliamentary systems, the head of state is primarily a ceremonial position, often a monarch or president, retaining duties that aren't politically divisive, such as appointments of civil service.
		Parliamentary systems vary as to the degree to which they have a formal written constitution and the degree to which that constitution describes the day to day working of the government.

	Parliamentary system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parliamentary systems usually have a clear differentiation between the head of government and the head of state, with the head of government being the prime minister or premier, and the head of state often being an appointed figurehead with only minor or ceremonial powers.
		The modern parliamentary system has its roots in the Roman Republic's senate, which was essentially a ruling council made up of the elite of society.
		It can also be argued that it's relatively easier to pass legislation within a parliamentary system since the executive and the legislature are always controlled by the same party and since the executive has a greater ability to "snap the whip" and force wavering party members into alignment.

	Parliamentary Debate: authored by Dr. Robert Trapp
		Cross-examination debate differs from parliamentary debate in that the former focuses on the content of evidence with the inference between evidence and claim in the background while the latter focuses on inference between evidence and claim with the content of evidence in the background.
		Parliamentary debaters, on the other hand, are expected to refute only the main lines of analysis of their opponents' cases.
		Because parliamentary debaters are expected to be clear in the structure of their reasoning and because parliamentary debaters use information from the public forum, the format is one which is accessible to public audiences.
