Give three reasons to justify the the Lok Sabha is more powerful than the Rajya Sabha.
Answers
Lok Sabha exercises supreme power in the following ways:-
(i) Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both the houses but in case of conflict, view of Lok Sabha prevails because it has large number of members.
(ii) Once the Lok Sabha passes the budget or any other money related law, Rajya Sabha cannot reject it. The Rajya Sabha can delay it for a maximum of 14 days or suggest changes in it which may or may not be accepted by the Lok Sabha.
(iii) Most importantly, the Lok Sabha controls the Council of Ministers. If the majority of the Lok Sabha members say that they have no confidence in the Council of Ministers, then all the ministers including the Prime Minister have to resign.
(b) The various functions of the Speaker are stated below:-
The Speaker presides over the meetings of the Lok Sabha. He adjourns the House.
It is the duty of the Speaker to maintain order and discipline in the Lok Sabha. He would not allow any member to behave with indignity or to use unparliamentarily language.
The order of business is prepared by the Speaker in consultation with the leader of the House. He allots time for debates and selects members to take part in debates. The members are asked to express their views within time limit, fixed by the Speaker.
(c) The following is the procedure for the passing of Money Bills in Parliament:-
A Money Bill can be introduced only in the Lok Sabha and only on the recommendation of the President. After it is passed by the Lok Sabha and transmitted to Rajya Sabha, the latter may make its recommendations if any, within a period of 14 days and the Lok Sabha may accept or reject all or any of the recommendation.
The Bill is deemed to be passed by both the Houses with the amendments accepted by Lok Sabha. If no amendment recommended by Rajya Sabha is acceptable to Lok Sabha or if the Bill is not returned by the Rajya Sabha within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both the Houses in the form in which it was passed by the Lok Sabha.

Motions of no confidence against the government can be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha. ...
