What to Focus On

  • The legislature is the law-making organ of the state.
  • It represents popular will and public opinion.
  • It controls finance, administration, and oversight.

  • Lower Houses are directly elected by the people.
  • Upper Houses may have different methods of composition.
  • Bicameralism provides checks and balance.

  • Law-making is the primary function.
  • It controls the executive in different ways in parliamentary and presidential systems.
  • It approves budgets and financial proposals.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Rajya Sabha is just like the British House of Lords and is only a weak, ceremonial upper house.

The U.S. Senate and the Rajya Sabha are identical because both are upper houses.

A Money Bill can be introduced in either House in India because both Houses are part of Parliament.

Memory Tips

Legislature as the paramount organ among state organs

Bicameral legislature with different bases

Lower houses are directly elected

U.S. Senate as a very powerful upper chamber
