UPSC Prelims 2015 Question:

There is a Parliamentary System of Government in India because the

1. Lok Sabha is elected directly by the people
2. Parliament can amend the Constitution
3. Rajya Sabha cannot be dissolved
4. Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4: Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha

Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Direct election of the members of the Lower House of the Parliament ensures a Democratic Government but not necessarily a Parliamentary form of Government. For example in the USA also, the Lower House is elected but it is a presidential form of government.
It is the Collective responsibility of the Union Council of Ministers that forms the bedrock of parliamentary democracy.
- As per Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the People.

Therefore, option (4) is the correct answer.

Subject: Polity | Forms of Government
