पॉइंट 1: संसद में बहुमत दल के नेता के रूप में प्रधानमंत्री की स्थिति उन्हें कानून पर महत्वपूर्ण नियंत्रण देती है।
- 2.
पॉइंट 2: वरिष्ठ मंत्रियों से बनी कैबिनेट सामूहिक रूप से संसद के प्रति जवाबदेह होती है, लेकिन व्यवहार में, यह अक्सर प्रधानमंत्री के एजेंडे का समर्थन करने वाले एक एकीकृत निकाय के रूप में कार्य करती है।

पॉइंट 4: दलबदल विरोधी कानून (संविधान की दसवीं अनुसूची) व्यक्तिगत संसद सदस्यों (सांसदों) की सरकार के खिलाफ वोट करने की क्षमता को सीमित कर सकता है, जिससे पार्टी अनुशासन और कार्यकारी नियंत्रण मजबूत होता है।

पॉइंट 7: आधुनिक कानून की बढ़ती जटिलता, विशेष रूप से वित्त और प्रौद्योगिकी जैसे क्षेत्रों में, विशेष ज्ञान की आवश्यकता होती है, जो कार्यपालिका के पास अक्सर व्यक्तिगत सांसदों की तुलना में अधिक आसानी से होता है।
- 8.
पॉइंट 8: सूचना और डेटा पर कार्यपालिका का नियंत्रण उसे सार्वजनिक चर्चा को आकार देने और अपनी नीतियों को सही ठहराने में लाभ देता है।
- 9.
पॉइंट 9: महत्वपूर्ण सलाहकार और प्रशासनिक क्षमता वाले शक्तिशाली प्रधान मंत्री कार्यालयों (पीएमओ) का उदय कार्यपालिका शाखा में शक्ति को और केंद्रित करता है।

61. What is Executive Dominance, and what factors contribute to it?
Executive Dominance, as per the concept, is when the executive branch (President/Prime Minister and cabinet) has significantly more power than the legislative (Parliament) and judicial (Courts) branches. Factors include a strong party system, the Prime Minister's leadership, control of government resources, and laws like the anti-defection law.
परीक्षा युक्ति
Remember that executive dominance doesn't mean absolute power, but rather a reduced level of scrutiny from other branches.
2. How does Executive Dominance work in practice in a parliamentary system like India?
In India, the executive (Prime Minister and Cabinet) is drawn from the legislature (Parliament), giving it a strong position. The Prime Minister's leadership of the majority party gives them control over legislation. The Cabinet acts as a unified body, supporting the Prime Minister's agenda. They also control government resources.
परीक्षा युक्ति
Consider the role of party discipline and the anti-defection law in maintaining executive control.
3. What are the key provisions that contribute to Executive Dominance, as mentioned in the concept?
The key provisions are: * The Prime Minister's leadership of the majority party. * The Cabinet's collective responsibility, but unified support for the Prime Minister. * Executive control over government resources. * The anti-defection law (Tenth Schedule). * The Speaker of the Lok Sabha's position.

After India's independence in 1947, the dominance of the Indian National Congress strengthened the executive.

However, recent developments, such as the increased use of ordinances, have raised concerns again.

Note the shift from single-party dominance to coalition governments and the subsequent impact on executive power.
5. What are the challenges in addressing Executive Dominance in India?

Balancing efficiency with accountability is a key challenge.
