Why are law-making and controlling government both necessary functions of Parliament?

Correct answer: Because Parliament makes rules and also questions their implementation

Answer: A. Parliament first helps make laws that establish rules for public life, rights, duties and government action. It must also examine whether the executive is applying those laws and using public money properly. Members can ask questions, hold debates, seek explanations, discuss reports and use other parliamentary procedures. This connection prevents the government from exercising power without scrutiny and helps keep it accountable. A is correct because it combines the legislative and oversight roles. B is wrong because Parliament is a law-making institution, not a sports body. C is wrong because the Council of Ministers is drawn from Parliament and is responsible to Lok Sabha in the parliamentary system. D is wrong because courts do not sit as a part of Parliament. Memory cue: “Parliament makes the rules and checks the rulers.”
