Functions of the Parliament: 

Following are the two functions of the Parliament 

  •  Legislation : 

Parliament is the executive branch of India, so its main function is legislation. The Parliament can make a law on any subject contained in the union list and the concurrent list. It can also frame laws using its residuary powers on the subjects given in the state list, in some special circumstances. When any two or more state legislatures, by passing a proposal, request the Parliament to enact a law on any subject, then also the Parliament can enact a law. 

  • Control over the executive : 

The Indian Parliament controls the executive by different methods such as : Question Hour, Zero Hour, call attention resolution, Adjournment motion etc. in the Parliament. But the Supreme power of control over the Executive is given to Lok Sabha. This power is called die motion of confidence and no confidence.
