The author argued that all democratic political regimes based on characteristics of the executive power delegation and responsibility to the popularly elected institutions should be divided into parliamentary and presidential democracies. The researcher noticed that parliamentary democracy is the prevailing format of inter-institutional relations in Europe and trace their history from the end of the XVII century, expanding statistically and quantitatively in the XIX and XX centuries. The author also argued that European parliamentary democracies in their construction of delegation and responsibility, which is determined with the agency theory, revolve around the institution of political parties.
