Discuss the constitutional and practical significance of the Governor's address to the State Legislature.
राज्य विधानमंडल में राज्यपाल के अभिभाषण के संवैधानिक एवं व्यावहारिक महत्व की विवेचना कीजिए।
What “Discuss” demands
present several distinct facets of the issue and connect them into an argument, giving the competing views real weight rather than one line each.
The characteristic failure: a list of points with no argument running through them.
What a top answer must contain
These are the checkable specifics from the marking standard for this question — the actual case, committee, datum or thinker, not an instruction to “give examples”.
- Art 176 — special address; Art 175 — right to address/send messages
- Address embodies council of ministers' policy (Art 163 aid & advice)
- Recent frictions: Governors delaying/editing addresses (TN 2023 walkout precedent)
- Motion of Thanks as the practical accountability instrument
