Consti-tuition Episode 04: Committees
Committees meet to come up with suggestions that can turn into laws.
In this episode of Consti-tuition, Meghnad explains how bills are analysed by Committees and why that vital aspect of democracy is losing its importance. Episode 2 was about how Bills become laws, but what the law contains and how valid the contents are, all depends on the scrutiny by committees.
