Total Destruction
seemingly easy questions were not easy infact
1-french president comparison with US president (check wikipedia for powers of french president) 2- Article 38 does nt mean discussion of pricilple of policy but specificaly the article 38 3- judicial review needed only legal criticism not political. it mean how supreme court is not eligible to review legislative and executive action according to constitution.moreover, the crammed answer on judicial review will not fetch marks. 4- Russian federation is nogif[/B]t part of the syllabus. USSR is part of the syllabus.there is difference between both of them. 5- "parliamentary sovereignty" was not the purpose of 1st question rather he was asking about position of parliament with respect to all other government organs. (in fact this was only easy question in the paper) 6- "labour party reform proposal " it was better to ask quit the competition rather such out of way questions. examiner must realize the fact that CSS candidates have a lot more subjects to do.And, we are not here to become constitutional experts. 7-judges appointment half easy half difficult. But it was the third question asked about judiciary. [SIZE="4"]Total Destruction[/SIZE] |
