Answer 2

It is bicameral with two houses: the Rajya Sabha (Council of states) and the Lok Sabha ( House of the People). The President in his role as role of legislature has full powers to summon and prorogue either house of Parliament or to dissolve Lok Sabha. The reason why Lok Sabha is more powerful than Rajya Sabha.
