The ordinary bills have to be passed from both the houses before they can be presented before the President. In case of a difference of opinion between Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over an ordinary bill, a joint meeting of both the houses is called for a discussion and the Prime Minister plays a very important role in this session.

There is a major difference between the fundamental rights and the fundamental duties. The fundamental duties are non-justifiable, that is no one can be punished in case of their violation or non-compliance. The fundamental duties are defined as the moral obligations of all citizens to help promote a spirit of patriotism and to uphold the unity of India.

Kunal Ghoshal answered |
India is a republic because the President is elected for a fixed term.
Explanation:
India is a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. The term "republic" refers to a form of government in which the head of state is an elected or nominated president, not a hereditary monarch. In the case of India, the President of India is elected by an electoral college comprising members of both houses of Parliament, as well as the legislative assemblies of the states.
Key Points:
- Republic: A form of government where the head of state is an elected or nominated president, not a hereditary monarch.
- President: The President of India is the head of state and the first citizen of the country.
- Elected: The President is elected by an electoral college, which consists of elected representatives from across the country.
- Fixed term: The President is elected for a fixed term of five years and can only be re-elected for a maximum of two terms.
- Independence: The President is not answerable to any political party and acts as an independent and impartial guardian of the Constitution.
- Executive and legislature: While it is true that the executive is responsible to the legislature in a parliamentary system, this alone does not define a republic. Many countries with parliamentary systems have a constitutional monarchy, where the head of state is a hereditary monarch.
- Participation in elections: The ability of every adult to take part in elections is an essential feature of a democracy, but it does not specifically define a republic. Democracies can have various forms of government, including monarchies.
In conclusion, India is a republic because the President is elected for a fixed term, and the head of state is not a hereditary monarch. The President acts as an independent and impartial guardian of the Constitution, and the ability of every adult to participate in elections is an important aspect of the democratic nature of the country.

Key Points:

- It often involves the incorporation of new information, experiences, and perspectives, leading to the growth and development of a society.
- Evolution can be observed in various aspects of human life, including culture, technology, language, and social structures.
- Over time, evolution can result in significant shifts in ideologies, values, and traditions, reflecting the dynamic nature of human societies.
- Unlike revolution, which entails sudden and dramatic changes, evolution is a gradual and continuous process that shapes the beliefs and behaviors of a community over an extended period.

Amita Das answered |
Many features of the Indian Constituion are borrowed from various countries of the world. The feature of Parliamentary democracy is borrowed from Britain. Parliamentary democracies may be a monarchy or a republic. While Britain has a monarch as head of the state, India has an elected head of the state. India adopted Parliamentary form of government over Presidential one due to multiple reasons one of them being its familiarity with the system.
