Here is Question No. 44 a part of our series on UPSC Prelims 2021.
Q44. Constitutional government means
a) a representative government of the nation with a federal structure
b) a government whose Head enjoys nominal powers
c) a government whose Head enjoys real powers
d) a government limited by the terms of the Constitution
Answer: (d)
- Constitutional government is by definition limited government. It means government conducted according to rules and principles, which are binding on all political actors, and which therefore help to constrain the unfettered exercise of power by separating or dividing it. The contemporary political systems that combine constitutionalism and democracy share a common basis in that they accord to the will of the majority of the people as expressed in free elections. In all such systems, political parties are key institutions, for they are the agencies by which majority opinion in a modern mass electorate is mobilized and expressed.
