Why can Parliament's power be called supreme in law-making but not unlimited?

Correct answer: Because it works within the limits of the Constitution and judicial review

Correct answer: A. Parliament is the principal law-making institution at the Union level, so it has wide authority to debate and enact laws on subjects within its constitutional powers. However, it is not above the Constitution. The Constitution distributes powers, protects rights and sets legal limits. Courts can use judicial review to examine whether a law violates constitutional provisions. If a law is found unconstitutional, the court may invalidate it to the extent of the inconsistency. Option B is wrong because Parliament clearly can make laws. Option C is wrong because the judiciary is independent and does not always take orders from Parliament. Option D is meaningless and does not explain constitutional limits. Memory cue: Parliament is supreme in ordinary law-making, but the Constitution is supreme over all institutions.
