Explanation:
The legislative branch of the Union government is called the Parliament that consists of the President and two Houses known as the House of the People (Lok Sabha) and the Council of States (Rajya Sabha).
It is important to appreciate that making the President a part of the Parliament is in conformity with the principles and traditions of the parliamentary form of government. We shall now discuss the composition, powers, and functions of both the Houses of the Parliament.
Lok Sabha
Lok Sabha or the House of the People is the lower house. It is the people’s representative body. The members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people of India. The number of its members cannot exceed 550.
Out of these, 530 are directly elected by the people of the States, and the remaining 20 members are elected from the Union Territories. All the citizens who are 18 years of age and above have the right to vote and elect the members of the Lok Sabha.
According to the Constitution, if there is no member of the Anglo-Indian Community in the Lok Sabha, the President can nominate two persons of this community as members. When the elections are announced, each State and Union Territory is divided into various territorial constituencies based on population.
These are known as Parliamentary Constituencies. One representative to Lok Sabha is elected from each of the constituencies. The term of the Lok Sabha is five years. However, it can be dissolved even earlier by the President.
During an emergency, its term can be extended for a period of one year. Those who want to be a member of the Lok Sabha must be a citizen of India,
be of at least 25 years of age, and
not hold an office of profit under the central, state or local governments.
He/She should possess such other qualifications as may be specified by law made by Parliament from time to time.
