Reason: Legislature is the centre of all democratic political process.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3 - The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
Assertion: Legislature is merely a law making body.
Reason: Legislature is the centre of all democratic political process.
The Assertion "Legislature is merely a law making body" is INCORRECT as Legislature is NOT MERELY a law making body. LAWMAKING is but ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS of the legislature.
Legislature is not merely a law making body. Lawmaking is but one of the functions of the legislature. It is the centre of all democratic political process (REASON). It is packed with action; walkouts, protests, demonstration, unanimity, concern and co-operation. All these serve very vital purposes. Indeed, a genuine democracy is inconceivable without a representative, efficient and effective legislature. The legislature also helps people in holding the representatives accountable. This is indeed, the very basis of representative democracy.
