Indian judiciary is considered one of the most powerful in the world because

(ii) Our Constitution has laid down very high and specific qualifications for the appointment of judges like
(a) Well versed in the law.
(b) 10 to 5 years of experience as an advocate and a judge of High Court respectively.
(iii) Our judiciary is independent of legislative and executive control. It can take decisions independently.

Three legislative powers of the President of India are
(i) The President is not a member of either house of the Parliament. But she is an integral part of the legislative process. She plays an important role in making of laws.
(ii) The President has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha. She can summon joint sitting of both houses of Parliament.
(iii) The President has the power to send messages to either house of the Parliament either regarding any pending bill or any other matter.

After election results, when there is no single party which enjoys the majority support of the members of the Legislature, two or more parties come together and form the government. Such a government is known as the coalition government. The three constraints or limitations on the powers of Prime Minister of the coalition government are
(i) The Prime Minister has to accommodate different groups and factions in his party as well as his alliance partners.
(ii) He has to pay attention to the views and 'positions of his coalition partners for the survival of his government.
(iii) The agenda and policies of the government are usually decided as a common minimum programme which includes all the views and demands of coalition partners.

The points tabulated below distinguish Political and Permanent executive

Political Executive	Permanent executive
Elected by the people (voters) for specific period	Appointed on a long-term basis.
Political leaders are political executives	Civil servants are the permanent executives
Answerable to the people.	Answerable to the government.

Lok Sabha exercises supreme power in the following ways
(i) Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both the houses but in the case of conflict, view of Lok Sabha prevails because it has a large number of members.
(ii) Once the Lok Sabha passes the budget or any other money related law, Rajya Sabha cannot reject it.
The Rajya Sabha can delay it for a maximum of 14 days or suggest changes in it which may or may not be accepted by the Lok Sabha.
(iii) Most importantly, the Lok Sabha controls the Council of Ministers. If the majority of the Lok Sabha members say that they have no confidence in the Council of Ministers, then all the ministers including the Prime Minister have to resign.
Thus, it can be concluded that Lok Sabha is more powerful that Rajya Sabha.
