legislature.
A.Unified
B.Federal
C.Unicameral
D.Bicameral

Answer 1

Hint:The government of the whole country is called the Union government and government of components units called state government. Union government and state government derive their authority from the Constitution itself.

Complete answer:
Rajya sabha has a federal character and acts as a representative of States. Lok sabha is composed of directly elected representatives on the basis of universal adult franchise. Rajya sabha is composed of representatives of states and union territories. Neither house by itself constitutes parliament. It is a house together that is parliament Lok Sabha occupiers central position in Indian polity. The second chamber of Indian parliament unlike which can be dissolved by the President's permanent body and is not subject to dissolution.The Lok Sabha is more powerful of the two houses of Parliament with regards to financial matters as a money bill can be tabled only in Lok Sabha. Thus it controls the finances of the government. The Lok Sabha is the most powerful of the two houses with regards to the Council of Ministers because they take all the important decisions of the country under the leadership of prime minister Rajya Sabha does not have a Council of Ministers.Since the Indian Parliament has two houses.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:In the state we have Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan parishad as two houses.Each house has their own power which ensures the check on each other.Practical reason of a Bicameral legislature is that power should not be in one hand rather being distributed.
