FAQs on Mindmap: Parliament - IBPS PO Prelims & Mains Preparation - Bank Exams

1. What is the role of Parliament in the government?
Ans. Parliament plays a crucial role in the government as it is responsible for making laws, representing the interests of the people, and scrutinizing the actions of the executive branch. It consists of elected representatives who debate, discuss, and pass legislation that affects the country's governance.
2. How are Members of Parliament (MPs) elected?
Ans. Members of Parliament are elected through a general election held in their respective constituencies. The electorate, consisting of eligible voters, chooses their preferred candidate by casting their votes. The candidate who receives the highest number of votes in a constituency becomes the elected Member of Parliament.
3. What are the two houses of Parliament?
Ans. The two houses of Parliament are the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is composed of elected representatives known as Members of Parliament (MPs), while the House of Lords consists of appointed and hereditary members, including life peers and bishops.
4. How does Parliament hold the government accountable?
Ans. Parliament holds the government accountable through various mechanisms. MPs can question government ministers during parliamentary sessions, engage in debates, and scrutinize government policies and actions. Additionally, parliamentary committees thoroughly examine government activities and hold inquiries, ensuring transparency and accountability.
5. What is the process of passing a law in Parliament?
Ans. The process of passing a law in Parliament involves several stages. It begins with the proposal of a bill, which can originate from either the government or individual MPs. The bill goes through readings, debates, and amendments in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. If both houses agree on the final version of the bill, it receives royal assent and becomes law.
