Correct answer: A

A
Parliamentary
Correct
B
Presidential
C
Basic Democracy
D
Autonomous
Explanation and memory cue

The 1973 Constitution of Pakistan established a federal parliamentary system of government. It created a parliamentary democracy where the executive power is concentrated in the office of the Prime Minister, who leads the cabinet responsible to the National Assembly (the lower house of Parliament). The President of Pakistan is the ceremonial head of state and acts on the advice of the Prime Minister. The legislature is bicameral, consisting of the Senate (upper house) and the National Assembly. This system contrasts with the earlier 1962 Constitution, which had introduced a presidential system. The 1973 Constitution thus marked a return to parliamentary democracy, which was later modified by amendments but restored again to parliamentary form by the 18th Amendment in 2010.
