Answers
Answer:
answer 1: The powers of the government in India are divided horizontally among three organs, i.e. the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary
answer 2: Their powers may include passing laws, establishing the government's budget, confirming executive appointments, ratifying treaties, investigating the executive branch, impeaching and removing from office members of the executive and judiciary, and redressing constituents' grievances.
answer 3: The State Legislative Council, or Vidhan Parishad, or Saasana Mandali is the upper house in those 6 states of India that have a bicameral state legislature; the lower house being the State Legislative Assembly.
answer 4: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh have bicameral legislatures, with the remaining states having a unicameral one.
answer 5: From each constituency, the people elect one representative who then becomes a member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). Each state has between seven and nine MLAs for every Member of Parliament (MP) that it has in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's bicameral parliament
answer 6: A bill is proposed legislation under consideration by a legislature. A bill does not become law until it is passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the executive. Once a bill has been enacted into law, it is called an act of the legislature, or a statute
