Consti-tuition Episode 04: Committees
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.
To recall how Bills become Laws, do watch Ep 2 here: https://youtu.be/8rz65NFMUpg
