Brazil, France, Russia, and the United States have presidential systems.
Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy, and many former British colonies have parliamentary systems.
A good way to tell is if a country has a "president", who is elected directly by the people, or a "prime minister", who is chosen from the largest party in Parliament.
Some countries, like Israel and Germany, have both (the Germans call their president a "chancellor"), but the president has limited power. This is known as a "semi-presidential system".
United Kingdom, India, and Australia are some countries that use a parliamentary system of government where the executive branch is derived from the legislative branch.
Most western democracies have this system. Fewer have the US type system of a constitutional democracy.

Who Created Parliament?
Parliament is the law-making body of a government that uses the 'parliamentary system'. The word 'parliament' comes from the French word parlement, from parler, to talk. The idea of meeting together to discuss and decide matters has very ancient origins. Many countries use a parliamentary system. In the UK the system goes back hundreds of years, at least as far back as the 13th century, and probably much further. This form of rulership has no precise founding date, and it is therefore difficult to attribute its creation to any particular individual or group of persons.
