Answers
Answer:
1. Ans: A state is divided into several constituencies on the basis of population. Every constituency elects one representative for the Legislative Assembly through a general election. He/She is called as a Member of Legislative Assembly or MLA . He/She may be a member of a recognised political party or independent. One who gets the maximum votes becomes the MLA of that constituency.
2. Ans: The party which is elected in majority for the Legislative Assembly forms the government. The ruling party elects its leader as the Chief Minister who is the head of the government. The Chief Minister, in consultation with the Governor, constitutes a cabinet which includes members of his/her party as ministers. The MLAs who become ministers are allotted with a portfolio. Here the MLAs turned ministers become accountable for the entire state for that particular portfolio.
3. Ans: The decisions taken by the Chief Minister and other ministers must be debated in the Legislative Assembly. It is because during debate it is discussed whether a particular decision is in interest of the people at large or net. It is also discussed whether it is urgent or not, how much would it cost the government, is there anything objectionable for any particular community, etc.
