How does the existence of Rajya Sabha act as a check on majoritarianism?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It provides additional review of laws

Direct answer: A, it provides additional review of laws. Majoritarianism becomes dangerous when a numerical majority tries to pass decisions without adequate discussion or regard for other viewpoints. Rajya Sabha is a second chamber, so a Bill usually receives another stage of debate, examination, and voting. Its members can question provisions, suggest amendments, and bring State-level perspectives into national discussion. This does not mean that Rajya Sabha can permanently block every law, but it can slow hurried decisions and require the government to explain and reconsider its proposal. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the Election Commission is an independent constitutional authority and is not controlled by Rajya Sabha. Option C is wrong because Rajya Sabha does not simply stop the Budget; Money Bills have a special procedure in which Lok Sabha has primacy. Option D is wrong because President's Rule is proclaimed by the President under constitutional conditions, not imposed by Rajya Sabha. Memory cue: a second chamber is a “second look,” not a second government.
