Which Article of the Indian Constitution refers to the Rights of Ministers concerning the State Legislature?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 177.

Article 177 of the Indian Constitution refers to the rights of ministers concerning the State Legislature. It provides that every minister in a state must be a member of either the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council of the state. If a minister is not a member of the State Legislature at the time of appointment, they must become one within six months of their appointment to continue serving as a minister. This ensures that all ministers are accountable to the legislature.
