Long Types Questions & Answers
Q.6. Why do you think is the advice of the council of Ministers binding on the president? Give your answer in not more than 100 words.
Ans : We think that advice of the council of ministers binding on the president. Because the president of India is the nominal and constitutional head of the executive. Article 74(i) clearly states: “There shall be a council of Ministers with prime Minister at its head, to aid and advice the president who shall in the exercise of his functions, act in accordance with such advice”.
The latter part of which makes it binding for the president to accept the advice of the council of Ministers, was initially not part of the article 74. it was added to it by the 42nd Amendment to the constitution. However, after the 44th Amendment, the President can ask the council of minister to reconsider the advice tendered to him, but the president has to accept the reconsider advice.
Q.7. Read this dialogue. Which argument do you agree with? Why?
Ans : Looking at the constitutional provisions, it seems that president is only a rubber stamp.
Shama :- The president appoints the prime minister. So he must have the power to remove the prime minister as well.
Regish :- We don’t need a president. After the election, the parliament can meet and elect a leader to be prime minister.
In the first argument the president is only a rubber stamp. But it is not true. In the third argument also it is discussed that there is no need of the president. After the elections, the parliament can meet and elect a person to be the Prime Minister. This position also not practicable. There are the instance when no clear majority exist and the president has to use his discretion. The office of the president of India is the office of respect and nominal supremacy. He is not the rubber stamp. He can use his discretionary powers at the time of emergency and at the time of appointment of Prime Minister if in the Lok Sabha, no single party has a clear majority.
The council of ministers with the Prime Minister as its head is answerable to the people through the Lok Sabha. As soon as the council losses the confidence of the lower house, it talks so there is no need for the President to dismiss the Prime Minister.
Q.8. The parliamentary system of executive vests many powers in the Legislature for controlling the executive why, do you think, is it so necessary to control the executive?
Ans : In a parliamentary system, the Prime Minister is the head of government. Most parliamentary system have a president or monarch who is the nominal head of the government. In India we have the parliamentary system where the prime minister is the head of the government and executive is responsible to the parliament. The executive hold power until it enjoyed the confidence of the parliament.
The parliament controls the purses Tring of the executive. To ensure that government would be sensitive the public expectations and responsible and accountable to their needs and aspirations, it is important that body elected by the people i.e.the legislature controls it.
Q.9. It is said that there is too much political interference in the working of the administrative machinery. It is suggested that there should be more and more autonomous agencies which do not have to answer to the ministers.
(a) Do you think this will make administration more people friendly?
(b) Do you think this will make administration more efficient
(c) Does democracy mean full control of elected representatives over the administration.
Ans : (a) There is a much political interference in the working of the administrative machinery. It is suggested that there should be more and more autonomous agencies which have no responsibility to the ministers. We think this will not make administration more friendly to the people. Because in a democracy, the elected representatives and the ministers are in charge of government.
As they are the representatives of the people and the administration is under their control and supervision and hence the administrative officers can’t act in violation of the policies adopted by the legislature. At the same time, the bureaucracy is also expected to be politically neutral. It is the responsibility of the administrative machinery to faithfully and efficiently participate in drafting the policy and implementing them.
(b) If there world be autonomous agencies, it will make administration more efficient.
(c) In democracy, the elected representatives have the right to make the policies but the administration has to implement those policies efficiently and more efficiently. So democracy does not mean that full control of elected representatives over administration.

Q.10. Write an essay of two hundred words on the proposal to have an elected administration instead of a appointed administration.
Ans : What would happen if there would be the procedure to have an elected administration instead of an appointed administration?It would be harmful. The elected administrators would change the policies. And there would be instability to implement different policies. The appointed administration is non- partisan. The civil servants are selected impartially on the basis of merit.
Thus the welfare policies of the government can be effectively handled. Policies would be implemented without any political interference. The elected administration would have lack of technical knowledge of their departments while members of administration have full knowledge of their departments. Hence they are more successful to implement the policies effectively and efficiently. They will be able to implement and perform the developmental functions. They will be also able to perform the functions of planning and social welfare.
