UPSC 1998: The Indian parliamentary system is different from the British parliamentary system in that India has
(a)Both a real and a nominal executive
(b)A system of collective responsibility
(c)Bicameral legislature
(d)The system of judicial review
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) The system of judicial review
Unlike the United Kingdom, where Parliament is sovereign and the courts cannot invalidate primary legislation, the Indian Constitution (e.g., Articles 13, 32, 226) expressly empowers the Supreme Court and High Courts to strike down laws that violate the Constitution. Therefore, the presence of judicial review is the key point of difference; the other three options are common to both systems.
