Question

In a democratic set up, Parliament is supreme because __________.

• A. It elects the President
• B. It can impeach the Chief Justice
• C. It makes and can change the laws
• D. It enjoys the residuary powers

Answer 1

The correct option is C It makes and can change the laws

The doctrine of parliamentary supremacy may be summarized in three points:

• Parliament can make laws concerning anything.
  
• No Parliament can bind a future parliament (that is, it cannot pass a law that cannot be changed or reversed by a future Parliament).
  
• A valid Act of Parliament cannot be questioned by the court. Parliament is the supreme lawmaker.
