Answer:
Yes.
- The Constitution made the executive responsible to the legislature because it ensures that power remains with the people.
- The executive (Prime Minister and Council of Ministers) runs the Government, but since they're drawn from Parliament and must maintain its confidence, this prevents misuse of power.
- Mechanisms like Question hour, votes of no-confidence and debates let MPs hold ministers accountable. This system protects democracy and keeps the government answerable to the people, as discussed in the chapter under "executive accountability".
