Parliament is the highest legislative body of India—the Union legislature. In India, Parliament has three parts: the President, the Lok Sabha, and the Rajya Sabha. This is straight from the Constitution: Article 79 says, “There shall be a Parliament for the Union consisting of the President and two Houses.” Now remember what Parliament does with the exam-friendly mnemonic L-F-E-R-C: Law making—passes laws; Financial control—approves the budget and taxes; Executive control—questions and holds the government accountable; Representation—voices people and states; and Constitutional amendment—changes the Constitution as per procedure. Quick exam recap: Article 79 equals Parliament. Article 80 is about the composition of the Rajya Sabha. Article 81 is about the composition of the Lok Sabha.
