The house has 550 members. On a particular day, 45 members are present. The Government wants to present a Bill. What do you think will happen?

1. The Government has a majority, so the Bill will be passed.
2. The Government cannot pass the Bill because the opposition is against it.
3. The Government is unable to introduce the Bill because the Speaker adjourns the House.
4. The Government can introduce the Bill but cannot pass it.

29th March 2023, The Hindu reported:
Opposition MPs, in this case, largely the Congress legislature party, are mooting an idea of a resolution against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for being “unfair” to the opposition.

What is the consequence when the Lok Sabha moves a resolution against the Speaker? In the above case, do you think the resolution would have led to such a consequence? Why?

When either of the two Houses of the Parliament of India is not in session, and if the government feels the need for an immediate procedure, the President can promulgate …………… that has the same force and effect as an act passed by parliament under its legislative powers.

What can the President promulgate? Who prepares it? Which body must approve it?

(A) The allotment of the number of members of Lok Sabha alloted to the various States is made on the basis of the size of the State.

(R) The Rajya Sabha can have a total of 250 members elected from all the States in the Union.

1. (A) is true, but (R) is false
2. (A) is false, but (R) is true
3. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
