Only Statement 'B' is correct. |
The correct answer is Option 2 - Only Statement 'B' is correct. Statement B- If Parliament has the authority to enact laws, there must be a law that bestows this authority on Parliament in the first place.
Correction in the incorrect statement A- In the Indian Constitution for example, it is specified that in most instances, PARLIAMENT, not the Prime Minister alone gets to decide the laws and policies of the country. In the Indian Constitution for example, it is specified that in most instances, Parliament gets to decide laws and policies, and that Parliament itself be organised in a particular manner. Before identifying what the law in any given society is, you have to identify who has the authority to enact it. If Parliament has the authority to enact laws, there must be a law that bestows this authority on Parliament in the first place. This is the function of the constitution. It is an authority that constitutes government in the first place. |
