In contrast to British scepticism, resolutions were common in the chambers of deputies on the European continent. Many states oppose the three central laws on farmers. This has no legal force but has political weight. Taxes for instance, cannot be imposed through a resolution of the House of Commons or, for that matter of both Houses of Parliament.Ī state assembly cannot veto a law passed by parliament. A law must be passed by both Houses of Parliament and assented to by the Crown. Over a century ago, an English court held that it is not law. LEGISLATIVE assemblies of the states in India have now belatedly discovered a weapon that can be freely deployed without harming the opponent but which can win public applause.
