2 STATES

Giving a detailed account of words we can say that constitution is the body of fundamental principles according to which a state is acknowledged to be governed. Also we can say that it is a set of laws that determines the central institutions and offices and power and duties of the state. Basically constitution is a set of checks and balances between all the branches of government, so that no one institution can have more power than other. Basically the Constitution has 3 branches i.e.:-

·         Executives

·         Legislatives

·         Judiciary

Executive branch is responsible for mainly initiating actions for the public good through the initiation of policies like our Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a number of policies for the public good. Now Executives are also divided in two parts:-

·         Head of the state i.e. President

·         Head of the Government i.e. Prime Minister

India has both the executive officers where as in USA there is only the Head of the state.

Legislature is basically responsible for passing the laws and keeping the eye on the executives that whether they are working in a good sense or not. Basically Legislature is the law making branch. Legislature is formed by the chambers of the state which is Parliament. It can be unicameral i.e. one chamber or bicameral i.e. two chambers. India is a bicameral country as it has two chambers, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Both the chambers keep an eye on the executive officers to maintain the proper functioning of constitution.

US on the other hand, has the House of Representatives , the US senate  forming  the US congress. Congress is thus the bicameral legislature of the United States. Members are either republicans or democrats. Rarely any third party finds a place. These members are elected from districts. They serve these interests. These are similar to the constituencies in India. Difference is that the power of the centre is more in India and the power of the state governments in US is much more.

This help understands the importance of government in two different contexts. They are 2 answers to the same questions.
