Discussion on government policies shows which role of Parliament?

Correct answer: Oversight over executive and public debate

Direct answer: A is correct. Parliament is not only a place where laws are passed; it also checks the work of the executive. During discussions, members ask ministers for information, examine the effects of policies, raise citizens’ concerns and criticise decisions when necessary. Opposition members and government members may both participate in debate, so public issues receive attention in a constitutional forum. A is correct because it combines oversight of the executive with public debate. B is wrong because Parliament cannot simply command courts; judicial institutions have an independent role. C is wrong because discussion of policy does not mean forming the Election Commission. D is wrong because private appointment of Governors is not the meaning of parliamentary oversight. Memory cue: when Parliament questions policy, it is “watching the executive and informing the public.”
