What to Focus On

  • Legislature is the representative organ of democracy.
  • It is more than a law-making body.
  • It helps people hold their representatives accountable.
  • Bicameral legislature means two Houses.
  • Two Houses provide double check and reconsideration.
  • Bicameralism helps represent regions and social groups.
  • Rajya Sabha is the Council of States.
  • It is indirectly elected by MLAs of State Legislative Assemblies.
  • Representation is based on population and constitutional allocation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha have equal powers in every matter.

Money bills can be introduced in either House of Parliament.

If the Rajya Sabha does not agree with a money bill within 14 days, the bill is rejected.
