name the three institutions of the government and explain their roles
Answers
Answer:
A government has three organs: Legislature, executive, and the judiciary.
LEGISLATURE
In India such a national assembly of elected representatives is called Parliament. At the state level this is called Legislature or Legislative Assembly. The name may vary in different countries, but such an assembly exists in every democracy.
Parliament is the final authority for making laws in any country. This task of law making or legislation is so crucial that these assemblies are called legislatures. Parliaments all over the world can make new laws, change existing laws, or abolish existing laws and make new ones in their place.
EXECUTIVE
Thus, at different levels of any government we find functionaries who take day-to-day decisions but do not exercise supreme power on behalf of the people. All those functionaries are collectively known as the executive. They are called executive because they are in charge of the ‘execution’ of the policies of the government. Thus, when we talk about ‘the government’ we usually mean the executive.
JUDICIARY
< If there was nothing like a Supreme Court in the country.
< Even if there was a Supreme Court, if it had no power to judge actions of the government.
< Even if it had the power, if no one trusted the Supreme Court to give a fair verdict.
< Even if it gave a fair judgement, if those who appealed against the Government Order did not accept the judgement.
