The role of parliament:

As citizens of a great country, we all have a duty to abide by the law and the fundamental principles of our constitution. And it is this constitution that upholds the democratic values that our forefathers struggled to establish. Before we attained independence from the colonial rule, only a few select people had the fundamental right to vote. People couldn’t voice their opinions freely.

It is because of this oppression that our leaders opted for a democracy where the people of India could voice their opinions and participate in the decision-making process. And it is our parliamentary system of government that protects this democracy. So, let’s understand what a parliament is and why do we need it.

A parliament is an elected system of government. The people vote for their representatives to be elected to the parliament. And when elected, the parliament is then made up all those elected representatives who then guide the government. By choosing their representatives, the people form the government and participate in the decision-making process, thereby upholding democracy.

The parliament of India is the absolute legislative authority. And it consists of the two main houses—the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha represents the house of the people and the Rajya Sabha represents the council of the states. Both these houses are presided over by the President of India. Now let’s discuss some of the functions of the parliament.
