Aclass was debating the merits of a bicameral system. The following points were made during the discussion. Read the arguments and say if you agree or disagree with each of them, giving reasons. (a) Neha said that bicameral legislature does not serve any purpose. (b) Shama argued that experts should be nominated in the second chamber. (c) Tridib said that if a country is not a federation, then there is no need to have a second chamber.

(a) This statement is not true because in a large country like India, two houses of
legislature are preferred to give due representation to all sections of the society as well
as the monopoly of either the chamber can be approached as ‘check and balance’.
(b) The President nominates 12 members in the Rajya Sabha from among the persons
who have distinctions in the field of literature, art, social services, etc., who are
experienced and possess intellectual depth.
(c) Tridib’s argument is also not true because the second chamber is also required to
give representations to all sections of society even though it might not be the
federation.
