Composition of Legislature

• A legislature may be set up as a unicameral or bicameral body. Indian legislatures are a two-chambered system consisting of two houses.

• The Indian Parliament is a bicameral body consisting of the Rajya Sabha, or council of states, and the Lok Sabha, or house of people. The Vidhan Sabha, which is the lower house, and the Vidhan Parishad, which is the upper chamber, make up the legislative body of the States of the Indian Union. Some states, however, only have one house.

• The representatives of all of the citizens residing in the states and union territories of the nation make up the House of People (Lok Sabha). The Rajya Sabha, also known as the Council of States, is made up of additional members nominated by various groups in the fields of social service, literature, science, sports, art, and culture, as well as delegates chosen by the state legislative assemblies.

• The second chamber’s goals and duties include reviewing hurried and careless legislation with the sober counsel of distinguished specialists. Consequently, it becomes feasible to investigate matters from various perspectives and to protect state interests within a federal framework.

• One legislative chamber is implied by a unicameral legislature. This type of legislation is seen in Bangladesh under the House of Nation name, in Turkey under the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, etc. The rationale for this system is that if there isn’t a single legislative body reflecting the interests of the people, there may be delays and disagreements in the enactment of laws.

Government is a system of institutions that use the legal system to maintain authority and punish those who violate the law. Typically, a government assigns tasks to its many organs, each of which is responsible for carrying out certain duties. The three main responsibilities of government are to make laws (legislature), enforce existing laws (executive), and interpret laws (judiciary).
