Chapter-3 How the State Government Works

1. Use the terms ‘constituency’ and ‘represent’ to explain who an MLA is and how is the person elected?

Explanation:

A state is split into constituencies based on its populace. Every district elects a single representative to the Legislative Assembly who is then charged with serving that constituency on a national basis. These officials, known as MLAs or Members of the Legislative Assembly, are chosen in a public election. They might run as individual candidates or as members of a political organization. Additionally, they are in charge of outlining to the Legislative Assembly the wants and requirements of their constituents.


 2. How do some MLAs become Ministers? Explain.

Explanation:

In general elections, the group with the most ballots forms the administration. The governing party chooses its leader to be the Chief Minister of the individual state in accordance with constitutional requirements. A Chief Minister forms a government after being elected, with representatives from his or her party included. The provincial governor is consulted before doing this. Following the creation of the government, the MLAs are appointed as ministers and given responsibilities in the areas of health, law, education, etc. They then take on responsibility for the business that was assigned to him or her.


3. Why should the decisions taken by the Chief Ministers and other ministers be debated in the Legislative Assembly?

Explanation:

 Every choice made by the Chief Minister and his or her administration must be discussed in the Legislative Assembly to make sure it is in the best interests of the general populace. The importance of the decision, the expense of putting it into effect, and whether the decision will raise concerns from any specific community are also discussed. The majority of the seat of the government that the governor selects and accepts the promises are typically invited to the Vidhan Sabha office state legislature by the state's governor. Collectively accountable is the Council of Ministers' Chief Minister. For the current state legislature body. Additionally, bills that would enact legislation overseas are currently being considered by either House of the Indian Parliament. This measure is written, approved by both Houses of Parliament, and then becomes law.

5.What is the difference between the work that MLAs do in the Assembly and the work done by government departments?

Explanation:

 Every government agency is led by a minister who is also an MLA, which is the primary distinction between the work done by MLAs in the assembly and that of government agencies. Anything the agency does or proposes gets approval from the minister. The department is in charge of finishing the work, and the MLAs serve as the liaisons between the

Legislative Assembly and the different government agencies that will be engaged in finishing any projects that are undertaken.
