Answer» JANPAD GOVERNMENT: The JANAPADAS had Kshatriya rulers. BASED on literary references, historians have theorized that the Janapadas were administered by the following assemblies in addition to the king: SABHA (Council)An assembly more akin to a council of qualified members or elders (mostly men) who advised the king and performed JUDICIAL functions. In the ganas or republican Janapadas called Gana-Rajya with no kings, the council of elders also handled administration.Paura Sabha (Executive Council)Paura was the assembly of the capital city (pura), and handled municipal administration.Samiti (General Assembly)A samiti generally consisted of all adults of the republic or the city-state. A samiti was congregated when a matter of importance had to be communicated to the entire city-state. A samiti was also held at the time of festivals to plan, raise revenue and conduct the celebrations.JanapadaThe Janapada assembly represented the rest of the Janapada, possibly the villages, which were administered by a Gramini. TODAYS GOVERNMENT: The powers of the legislature in India are exercised by the Parliament, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. Of the two houses of parliament, the Rajya Sabha is considered to be the upper house or the Council of States and consists of members appointed by the president and elected by the state and territorial legislatures. The Lok Sabha is considered the lower house or the House of the people.The executive power is vested mainly in the President of India, as per Article 53(1) of the constitution. The president has all constitutional powers and exercises them directly or through subordinate officers as per the aforesaid Article 53(1). The president is to act in accordance with aid and advice tendered by the Prime Minister of India, who leads the Council of Ministers of the Republic of India as described in Article 74 of the Constitution of India.India's independent union judicial system began under the British, and its concepts and procedures resemble those of Anglo-Saxon countries. The Supreme Court of India consists of the chief justice and 30 associate justices, all appointed by the president on the advice of the Chief Justice of India. The jury trials were abolished in India in the early 1960s, after the famous case KM Nanavati v. State of Maharashtra, for reasons of being vulnerable to media and public pressure, as well as to being misled. |
