Options
A.
B.
Explanation
The Indian Parliament is not a sovereign body in the absolute sense like the British Parliament. Its sovereignty is limited by several factors: (1) Written nature of the Constitution, which requires Parliament to function within its limits; (2) Federal system, where power is constitutionally divided between the Union and the States; (3) Judicial Review, which allows the Supreme Court and High Courts to declare parliamentary laws unconstitutional; and (4) Fundamental Rights (Article 13), which prohibit the State from making laws that abridge or take away these rights.
