Answer 2

Answer:

This provision accomplishes "providing a framework for government" which is one of the goals of constitution.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

• The legislature is one of the 'three organs of the government'. The other two are Executive and the Judiciary.

• In the 'Presidential form of government', the Legislature has no control over the working of the Executives.

• But still it occupies an eminent position in the democratic political system.

• The peoples’ views and opinions are conveyed through their representatives during the process of law making, this setup gives legitimacy to the law making process.
