Questions students ask

What is the parliamentary system?

The parliamentary system is a form of government where the executive (Council of Ministers) is chosen from and accountable to the legislature (विधायिका). Key features include collective responsibility, confidence motions and the Prime Minister as head of government.

Difference between legislature and executive?

The legislature (विधायिका) makes and debates laws; the executive (कार्यपालिका) implements them and manages daily administration. Examples: Parliament passes laws; the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers run administration and implement policies.

How does a bill become a law?

A bill is introduced in a House, goes through readings and committee scrutiny, must be passed by both Houses (as applicable) and then receives the President’s assent to become law; money bills start in Lok Sabha.
