On the legislature it moves from the two Houses and their powers through law-making and Money Bills, the Speaker and presiding officers, anti-defection, parliamentary committees, the opposition&#8217;s decline and changing profile, and State Legislative Councils. On the executive it covers the President&#8217;s constitutional design and election, presidential discretion and ordinances, the Prime Minister, the Council of Ministers and the Cabinet system, the PMO, and the bureaucracy&#8217;s tilt towards the executive \u2014 then the Governor and gubernatorial discretion, the Chief Minister and the State Council, and Lieutenant Governors. On the judiciary it runs through the Supreme Court&#8217;s evolution into a constitutional court, High Courts and judicial review, substantive due process, the policy-evolution debate, the NJAC, and advisory jurisdiction. The thread the capsule closes on is its own synthesis: India runs not on rigid separation but on controlled overlap, constitutional accountability and mutual restraint \u2014 Parliament regaining deliberative strength, the executive respecting collective responsibility, the Governor acting as a constitutional sentinel, and the judiciary protecting rights without replacing elected institutions. Between 2015 and 2025 this chapter carried sixteen questions \u2014 nine 15-markers, two 20-markers, two 10-markers, and three from 2015 whose marks aren&#8217;t recorded.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"red-h2-box\"><strong>Write before the evening:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Prime Minister&#8217;s Office (PMO) has emerged as the most powerful institution in India.
