Direct election of the Lok Sabha gives it special moral legitimacy in which area?

Correct answer: Decisions on taxes and use of public money

Correct answer: A. Lok Sabha members are directly elected by citizens, so decisions involving taxation and the spending of public money receive a strong democratic justification from direct representation. People choose representatives who debate and approve financial proposals on their behalf. This reflects the principle that public revenue should be controlled through elected representatives. Option B is wrong because Supreme Court judgments are written by judges, not Lok Sabha members. Option C is wrong because the appointment of Governors follows the constitutional process and is not the special financial role described here. Option D is wrong because changing state boundaries is not a power that Lok Sabha exercises alone and automatically; it involves a constitutional legislative process. Direct election gives legitimacy, but it does not mean unlimited power. Memory cue: direct representation is especially important when deciding how citizens’ taxes are collected and spent.
