NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Social Science Political Science How the state government works

Q1. Use the terms ‘constituency’ and ‘represent’ to explain who an MLA is and how is the person elected?

Ans: Every state in India has a Legislative Assembly and each state is divided into different areas or constituencies on the basis of population for the purpose of elections. For example, the state of Himachal Pradesh is divided into 68 constituencies.  From each constituency, the people elect one representative who then becomes a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). Each MLA belongs to a particular political party. MLAs are elected by the people and form the government, hence, they represent the people of the respective constituencies from which they are elected..

Q2. How did some MLAs become Ministers? Explain.

Ans: Every MLA belongs to a political party. Some MLAs become ministers when their party wins more than half the number of constituencies in a state and thus forms the majority. The political party that has the majority is called the ruling party and all other members are called the opposition. After the elections, The MLAs from the ruling party can elect the Chief Minister of the state. The Chief Minister then selects a few of the elected MLAs as ministers. Not all elected MLAs can become ministers. The Governor of the state appoints the Chief Minister and other ministers. The Chief Minister and other ministers have the responsibility of running various government departments or ministries. They have separate offices.

Q3. Why should decisions are taken by the Chief Minister and other ministers be debated in the Legislative ALegislative Assembly
ssembly?

Ans: Decisions taken by the Chief Minister and other ministers should be debated in the Legislative Assembly as these decisions have to be approved by all the other members of the Legislative Assembly. The MLAs are collectively responsible for the work that the government does. They also have to answer questions that are asked in the Legislative Assembly and convince people asking the questions that proper steps are being taken. As they have been elected by the people to form the government, they are responsible and accountable to them. In a democracy, these members can ask questions, debate an important issue, decide where money should be spent etc.
For example, if there are issues pertaining to a change in government policy, the issues need to be discussed in the Legislative Assembly before implementing the change. All members of the Legislative Assembly including the members of the opposition should be a part of the discussion before any final decision is taken.
