How their governments are structured
Bolivia is a parliamentary republic; Mongolia is a parliamentary system. Both run parliamentary systems, so in each country the head of government depends on a working majority in the lower house — lose confidence and the government falls. The differences are in the detail: thresholds, dissolution powers, and whether a no-confidence motion can succeed without an alternative candidate (constructive no-confidence) or simply on a negative vote.
