{"Image DocumentName": "Answer Strengths of parliament as a law making body", "Image ImageDescription": "Weaknesses of parliament as a law making body. Members of parliament are elected into office by the community and therefore represent them in law making. Parliament is therefore ANSWERABLE AND ACCOUNTABLE to the people. If the people are dissatisfied with the representation given by a MP, they can vote them out at the next election. Because members of political parties are concerned about being voted out of office, they may be subject to political influence and be at the whim of the electorate. This could result in parliament passing popular laws rather than necessary laws. Parliament is able to MAKE OR CHANGE LAWS AT ANY TIME (providing that it is sitting) and can act quickly as the need arises. It can respond to CHANGES IN COMMUNITY ATTITUDES, CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY. For example\u2026.. Because there are conflicting values in society on some issues, it is not always possible for parliament to determine the majority view to represent in legislation. This may result in parliament having difficulty passing controversial laws such as legalisation of gay marriage.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
