Cabinet
In a parliamentary system, a group of senior ministers usually drawn from the
majority party. In Britain (where cabinet government originated), the cabinet
has no constitutional status other than the conventions b} which it operates.
It forms the link between the executive and legislative branches of government,
as its members must be drawn from the legislature. Cabinet members are bound by
the doctrine of collective responsibility: ministers must publicly support
decisions taken by the cabinet, or its committees, or else resign. A cabinet
may also be found in a non-parliamentary system, such as that of the USA, where
it provides the president with an additional consultative body. >>
