Question and options
Under Article 75(3) of the Constitution of India, to whom is the Union Council of Ministers collectively responsible?
The Lok Sabha
The President
Both Houses of Parliament
The Prime Minister
Answer and explanation
Article 75(3) makes the Council of Ministers collectively responsible to the House of the People, so a government stays in office only while it has the Lok Sabha’s confidence. Ministers hold office during the President’s pleasure under Article 75(2), but that is not collective responsibility, and the Rajya Sabha cannot remove a government.
