Question

The idea of X gained recognition in the 18th century. It is considered the foundation of the Cabinet. It is a feature according to which the government is answerable to the highest legislature for its decisions, actions, and policies.

Identify X.

• A. Human Rights
• B. Social Responsibility
• C. Individual Responsibility
• D. Collective Responsibility

Answer 1

The correct option is D Collective Responsibility

Collective Responsibility is a feature according to which every individual of the government is answerable to the Parliament for its actions and policies. The Cabinet as a whole is answerable and if a minister disagrees with any decision, he/she can express it privately. In India, the Cabinet is collectively responsible to the Lower House of the Union Parliament. If the Lok Sabha passes a No-Confidence Motion, the Cabinet must resign.
