LAWS AND GOVERNMENT

Legislature is the part of the government which makes the law. Our Parliament is the central legislature of the country. It has two parts – The Lok sabha and The Rajya Sabha. The member are called Mps. The laws made by the parliament is applied to the entire nation.

The laws made by the legislature are implemented by the executive. India’s central executive is headed by the president of the country, although it’s real work is done by the prime minister and the council of ministers.

A system of courts known as the judiciary settles disputes and makes sure that the laws are obeyed by each and every individual. The Indian judiciary includes the Supreme Court, The High courts and various lower Courts. The Supreme Court is the apex court in the country where as the High court is the heights court in the state.

• Monarchy – Monarchy is the form of government in which a monarch that is a king or a queen has the absolute power to govern the country.  Monarchy is hereditary that means the power gets transferred to the next generation. In monarchy people do not have the right to choose their ruler. Example- Bhutan has this form of government.
• DICTATORSHIP – The form of government in which the power rest in the hands of single person or a small group of people is known as dictatorship. The dictator is the head of the country and the people who challenge him are severely punished. Such power is often obtained by force. Pakistan faced dictatorship for a long periods in the past.

Each adult in a democracy has the right to vote and the biggest advantage that democracy gives is Right to freedom. Democracy may be direct or representative.
