What is the democratic purpose of the whole system of political executive?

Correct answer: To run governance based on a mandate, accountable to Parliament and implemented through administration

Correct answer: A. The system of political executive connects three democratic stages. First, elections provide a mandate through the representatives chosen by citizens. Second, the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers exercise political authority but remain accountable to Parliament, especially the Lok Sabha. Third, the permanent administration implements lawful policies and decisions in practice. Together, these stages make government responsive, answerable, and capable of delivering public programmes. B is wrong because democracy requires an independent judiciary, not its abolition. C is wrong because Parliament is a public constitutional institution representing citizens. D is wrong because democratic government should be open to questioning and scrutiny. Memory cue: “Mandate, accountability, implementation: these three links complete democratic governance.”
