    The document discusses the decline of legislatures in three main points: 1) Modern societies have become more complex with social and economic issues transforming states into welfare states, enlarging executive powers and making them multi-functional. 2) As deliberative institutions, legislatures today lack competency and quality discussions due to uneducated politicians, unruly behavior, and party biasness affecting their prestige. 3) Delegated legislation has increased where executives are delegated authority to make laws, reducing legislatures to mechanical debates, due to lack of time, expertise, and the need for flexibility and technical responses. This has further contributed to the decline of legislatures.

    Decline of the Legislature

    BY- DR. GARIMA SINGH


    Overview

    About legislature (Parliament) as a main deliberative body


    engaged in the making of laws and
    Executive having powers to enforce the law made by the
    parliament.
    Discussion about the powers of both the organs- The
    membership of the legislature and executive overlap each
    other.
    The legislature performs the task of keeping a check on the
    working of the executive and make them answerable. (No
    Confidence Motion in Indian Legislature)
    Reasons for the decline of the legislature

    In the recent past legislatures have seen a decline – reasons:-


    Changing nature of the state – modern Social and
    economic life as become more complicated, after the world
    wars and the industrial revolution- complex problems has
    transformed the state – from police to welfare state. Executive
    powers have been enlarged and have become multi- functional.
    As Deliberative Institutions – As deliberative institutions,
    legislature today lacks in content and competencies to engage
    in quality discussions, uneducated politicians, unruly
    behaviour and party biasness have effected the prestige of
    legislature.
    Conti...

    Lack of Technical Knowledge- the modern


    problems are becoming more complex and
    politicians often lack the technical and scientific
    knowledge and delegates such kind of work to the
    executives.
    Party Biasness – The overlapping nature of the
    ruling party and the government caused parliament
    to serve primarily as a public forum for the
    ventilation of grievances rather than a law‐making
    body- reduced it to mere mechanical level debates.
    Conti...

    Delegated / Subordinate Legislation – One of the


    important reason for the decline of the parliament.
    Increase in Population, Complexities in modern day
    problems, lack of time of handling all issues and even
    lack of expertise – led to delegation of authority to
    executive to make laws.
    Delegated Legislation means the exercise of legislative
    power by an agency that is subordinate to the
    legislature. This subordinate body acquires the power
    from the act of the legislature.
    Conti...

    Delegated legislation is law made by some person or


    body other than parliament, but with the permission
    of parliament. 
    Can be declared null and void if its against the
    enabling act , against the constitution.
    It is important – day to day administration,
    flexibility , in response to emergency and for
    technical expertise.
