Document Summary
The role of the president and its relationship with the public, the press, and congress changed under fdr and was the beginning of the modern presidency . This change would come later for the british prime minister. There is a cut off 1979 with margaret thatcher. This didn"t change because of an event like the great depression but because a change of personality with the arrival of thatcher. As opposed to a presidential system of government, in the parliamentary system, the prime ministers and the cabinet are dependent on the legislature"s confidence and can be dismissed through centure or a vote of no confidence. Thatcher came to power when callahan had a vote of no confidence. When the prime minister is seen as equal, it becomes easier to usurp them. The person to hold the preeminence the longest was probably thatcher but none of them have held the preeminence all the way through their terms.
