Which two functions of Parliament are identified in the material?

• A. Approves of the Government's Budget and Determine the privileges of the Senate and the House of Assembly
• B. Passes local laws
• C. Interprets the Constitution
• D. Collects taxes

Answer: (A)

Parliament’s control over money and its own authority are the two functions highlighted. It approves the government’s budget, allowing lawmakers to decide how public funds are spent and to hold the executive to account for allocations. It also determines the privileges of the Senate and the House of Assembly, which are the rights and immunities that let members speak freely, operate without undue interference, and run Parliament according to its rules. These two functions show Parliament’s role in financing government activity and protecting its own constitutional powers. The other options describe related activities—like passing laws, interpreting the Constitution, or collecting taxes—that aren’t the two functions identified in the material.
