The Parliament of India is primarily based on the model of

The Indian parliamentary system is primarily modeled after the British Westminster system [5]. This model emphasizes a fusion of powers where the executive is drawn from and remains accountable to the legislature. Key features adopted from the British tradition include the presence of a nominal and real executive, collective responsibility of the Council of Ministers to the lower house, and a bicameral structure [5]. However, the Indian Parliament is not a sovereign body like its British counterpart; its powers are defined and limited by a written Constitution, a federal structure, and the power of judicial review [5]. While the Indian system incorporates elements similar to the American Congress regarding constitutional limitations, its fundamental operational structure remains rooted in the British parliamentary tradition [5].
