Lok Sabha can be dissolved but Rajya Sabha cannot; what does this show about Parliament's structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: One House is mandate-based and the other is continuity-based.

Correct answer: A. Lok Sabha is the elected House whose members are directly chosen by voters. It can be dissolved before or at the end of its term, after which a fresh electoral mandate is sought. Rajya Sabha is a permanent House: it is not dissolved, although one-third of its members retire approximately every two years and are replaced. Therefore, Lok Sabha is closely connected with current popular and electoral mandate, while Rajya Sabha provides continuity and represents the states. A is correct because it captures this institutional contrast. B is wrong because the two Houses do not have identical arrangements. C is wrong because Rajya Sabha members are generally elected indirectly by elected members of State Legislative Assemblies, with nominated members also provided for by the Constitution. D is wrong because Rajya Sabha, not Lok Sabha, is the Council of States. Memory cue: Lok Sabha may be dissolved; Rajya Sabha continues.
