Legislature and Parliament

Indonesia's parliament is called the Majlis, which refers to the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). Knesset is Israel's parliament. Jatiya Sansad is Bangladesh's parliament. People's Great Khural is Mongolia's parliament.

Spain's parliament is called the Cortes Generales, which is bicameral consisting of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. Folketing is Denmark's parliament. Althing is Iceland's parliament. Option D 'TS hogdu' appears to be a typo or garbled text.

The parliament of Poland is called the Sejm (pronounced 'Seym'), which is the lower house of the Polish parliament. The upper house is the Senate. Narodno Sabranic is the Bulgarian parliament, Landstrad (Landsting) was the upper house of Denmark's parliament, and Storting is the parliament of Norway.

The parliament of the Netherlands is called the States General (Staten-Generaal in Dutch). It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Cortes Generali is Spain's parliament, while Riksdag is Sweden's parliament - knowing these distinctions helps eliminate wrong options.

Norway's parliament is called the Storting, meaning 'Great Assembly' in Norwegian. It's a unicameral legislature with 169 members. Eduskunta is Finland's parliament and Knesset is Israel's - memorizing country-specific parliament names is key for civics questions.

Finland's parliament is called the Eduskunta, a unicameral legislature with 200 members. Althing is Iceland's parliament (one of the oldest in the world), Folketing is Denmark's parliament, and Knesset is Israel's parliament. Nordic countries have similar-sounding but distinct names.

According to Article 352 of the Constitution, an Emergency proclamation must be approved by both Houses of Parliament within one month of its proclamation. If not approved, it ceases to operate. The approval can be for up to six months at a time with periodic extensions.

Article 171 of the Constitution states that the Legislative Council cannot have more than one-third of the total membership of the Legislative Assembly. Thus, the ratio is 1:3 (council to assembly maximum).

The Rajya Sabha is the permanent house of Parliament - it is a continuing body and cannot be dissolved. One-third of its members retire every two years. The Lok Sabha can be dissolved and has a 5-year term, making it temporary.

Haryana has a unicameral legislature, meaning it has only one house - the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) with 90 members. It does not have a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad).

A No Confidence Motion can be initiated only in the Lok Sabha under Article 75(3) of the Constitution, which states that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Rajya Sabha cannot vote on a No Confidence Motion because it does not have the same direct relationship with the Government as the Lok Sabha does. The motion requires the support of at least 50 members to be admitted.

Under Article 117 of the Indian Constitution, a Money Bill can ONLY be introduced in Lok Sabha, not in Rajya Sabha. This is because Lok Sabha represents the direct will of the people and is more accountable to taxpayers. Rajya Sabha can only recommend amendments to Money Bills, which Lok Sabha may accept or reject. The Supreme Court and President's Office are not legislative bodies.

Pakistan's 18th Constitutional Amendment was passed in 2010, significantly reducing presidential powers. It removed the President's authority to dissolve the National Assembly and dismiss elected governments. The amendment also transferred key powers back to the Prime Minister and parliament, reversing military-era constitutional changes. This statement accurately describes those reforms.

Arunachal Pradesh has a unicameral (single-house) legislature called the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly with 60 seats. This is standard for most Indian states. A bicameral system (two houses) exists only in a few states like Maharashtra and Karnataka.
