Q17 (IAS/2005) Polity & Governance › Parliament › Parliament composition Answer Verified

Consider the following statements: 1. The Parliament of Russia is called Federal Assembly. 2. Council of the Federation in the Russian Parliament is the lower house. 3. The name of the upper house in the Russian Parliament is State Duma. Which of the statements is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Russian Parliament is constitutionally named the Federal Assembly, which consists of two chambers: the Council of the Federation and the State Duma. The Council of the Federation (Federation Council) is explicitly described as the upper chamber representing the regions and exercising powers such as approval of border changes and other federal functions [1]. Conversely, the State Duma is identified as the lower chamber (450 deputies) with its own electoral term and legislative roles. Therefore only statement (1) is correct; statements (2) and (3) are incorrect because they reverse the established upper/lower-house identities.
