What is the final democratic purpose of the powers of Parliament?

Correct answer: To keep laws, the Budget and the government under the control of people’s representatives

Correct answer: A. Parliament is a central institution of representative democracy. Citizens elect representatives, and those representatives participate in making laws, approving public expenditure and examining the work of the executive. These powers ensure that the government does not treat public authority or public money as its private property. Questions, debates, committees, budget approval and other parliamentary procedures require ministers to explain their decisions. The Rajya Sabha also gives states a voice in national lawmaking. Option B is wrong because democratic accountability requires openness and discussion, not secrecy in all decisions. Option C is wrong because federal representation is an important part of the Rajya Sabha’s role. Option D is wrong because a parliamentary government must have the required support, especially in the Lok Sabha. Memory cue: Parliament converts the people’s electoral mandate into laws, budgets and accountability.
