How does the smaller size of Cabinet affect decision-making?

Correct answer: It allows quicker and focused discussion on major decisions

Correct answer: A. The Council of Ministers may include many ministers, but the Cabinet is its smaller inner group consisting of the key ministers in charge of important departments. Because fewer people take part in Cabinet meetings, major proposals can be discussed in a more focused way, different departments can be coordinated and decisions can usually be reached more efficiently. The Cabinet does not replace the entire Council of Ministers; it is the central decision-making part of it. Option A is correct because it describes the practical advantage of a smaller group. Option B is wrong because ministries continue to exist and are managed by ministers. Option C is wrong because the President's constitutional position and membership are not changed by Cabinet size. Option D is wrong because courts retain their independent judicial powers; the Cabinet cannot take them away simply by being small. Memory cue: Council of Ministers is the wider group; Cabinet is the smaller inner core that takes the most important decisions.
