Parliamentary sovereignty is a fundamental principle of the British constitutional system, signifying that Parliament is the supreme legal authority. In India, Parliament’s power is limited by constitutional supremacy and judicial review.
Similarities
Representative Authority: In both countries, Parliament represents the will of the people and is the central law-making body.
Supremacy in Legislative Function: Both Parliaments have broad legislative powers to make, amend, or repeal laws.
Parliamentary Privileges: Members in both enjoy freedom of speech and immunity within legislative proceedings.
Rule of Law Framework: Both function under the rule of law, ensuring legislation aligns with legal principles.
Bicameral Legislature: Each has a two-house system (UK: Commons and Lords; India: Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha).
While both systems share a parliamentary foundation and democratic ethos, the UK upholds parliamentary supremacy, whereas India enshrines constitutional supremacy
