Explanation: The fundamental principle underlying the working of the parliamentary system of government is the principle of collective responsibility.

• Article 75 clearly states that the council of ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha.
• This means that all the ministers have joint responsibility to the Lok Sabha for all their acts of omission and commission. They work as a team and swim or sink together.
• Article 75 also contains the principle of individual responsibility. It states that the ministers hold office during the pleasure of the president, which means that the President can remove a minister even at a time when the council of ministers enjoys the confidence of the Lok Sabha.
• In India, there is no provision in the Constitution for the system of legal responsibility of a minister.
