1 The Constitution as a Basis for monitoring of Elected Representatives

 ERs derive their powers for functioning through the Constitution

 They are mandated to Attend Sessions, Raise people’s Issues, Debate, Participate in Discussions and Pass legislations.

 The Constitution defines their powers and rules of functioning, hence only the Constitution can provide the parameters for their monitoring.
