Need for Political Institutions
A government has to perform various duties, formulate policies and implement them.
Some have to formulate schemes, some have to take decisions, some have to implement the decisions.
Hence the need for institutions to do all the above.
The Constitution of a country lays down basic rules on powers and functions of each institution.
The prime minister and the cabinet take all policy decisions.
The civil servants take the steps to implement ministers decisions.
Supreme court solves disputes between citizen and government.
The institutions are the Legislative (Parliament), the Executive (the Government) and the Judiciary.
Parliament :
In all democracies , an assembly of elected representatives exercises supreme political authority on the behalf of the people. At national level it is parliament and at state level it is legislative assembly.
It is needed as final authority to make laws in the country.
To exercise control over the workings of the government.
To control the expenditure of the government,and control public money.

• Two Houses of Parliament. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The former has elected representatives and is the House of People.
•The Rajya Sabha elected by the elected members of each State Assembly is called the Council of States.
• Lok Sabha is more important in money matters, control over the executive and council of ministers., has more members. It is also called as lower chamber.

The second category is called the permanent executive consisting of civil servants. They help the political executive in carrying out the day to day work. They are experts but do not take the final decision.
