How can opposition and Rajya Sabha balance the power of the majority in Parliament?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They can scrutinise through debate, questions and reconsideration

Correct answer: A. A parliamentary majority is important for forming a government and taking decisions, but democracy also requires checks on the use of majority power. The opposition can question ministers, point out weaknesses, demand explanations and offer alternative views. Rajya Sabha can examine Bills from the perspective of the states, debate them and, where constitutionally possible, ask for reconsideration or changes. These processes improve the quality of decisions and reduce the danger of hasty or one-sided action. Option A is correct. B is wrong because no parliamentary group can simply abolish citizens' voting rights in this way. C is wrong because Parliament cannot dissolve the independent judiciary as described. D is wrong because the President and Prime Minister are different constitutional offices and cannot be combined by such a parliamentary act. Memory cue: majority decides, scrutiny protects democracy.
