The makers of our Constitution adopted the Parliamentary and the Cabinet form of Government. With reference to this, answer the following questions:
a. i. Who is the Constitutional Head of the Union Government?
ii. What is meant by the Collective and Individual Responsibility of the Members of the Cabinet?
i. The President.
ii. Collective Responsibility: Article 75(3) of the constitution provides for the collective responsibility of Council of Minister to the LS. It means that they enjoy the majority support of LS. If any decision of CoM is defeated in LS, entire Council of Minister shall have to resign even if decision is related to a single ministry. It means every decision taken by government is collectively approved by Council of Minister. All ministers defend it both within and outside the Parliament.
Individual Responsibility: Article 75(2)- the ministers shall hold office during the pleasure of President. So as per Article 75(2) of the constitution, ministers are also individually responsible to the President. This means ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President. They can be removed from Council of Minister without assigning a reason. However they can only be removed after PM advised the President to do so.
