Answer 1

1. The Parliament of India represents the people's ability to determine their laws, with members from both houses representing Indian residents.
   1. Lok Sabha: The House of People. The Indian people directly elect the members.
   2. Rajya Sabha: Rajya Sabha members are divided into two categories: nominated and elected. The President nominates 12 members with specific knowledge or experience in literature, science, art, and social service. The remaining 238 Rajya Sabha seats are elected by the elected members of each State's Legislative Assembly using equal representation with a single transferable vote.
2. I can run for Lok Sabha elections as long as my name appears in any area of the country. Qualifications for Parliament membership.
   1. He needs to be an Indian citizen.
   2. Candidates must be at least 25 years old for Lok Sabha and 30 years old for Rajya Sabha.
   3. His name should be on the electoral rolls in some areas of the country.
   4. He should not be considered bankrupt. He should be debt-free and capable of meeting his financial responsibilities.
   5. He should not have a profit-making position within the government.
   6. He should not be proclaimed a criminal.
   7. He should be of sound mind. I cannot become a member of the Upper House since Rajya Sabha members are not directly elected by the people. Instead, they are elected by the Legislative Assembly of each state using proportional representation and a single transferable vote. Eligibility for Rajya Sabha membership requires a minimum age of 30 years.
3. I desire to be a member of the Lok Sabha, which has greater power than the Rajya Sabha due to direct election by the people.
