Antwoorddetails
The resignation of the cabinet after a defeat in parliament is an expression of the principle of "collective responsibility". This principle means that all members of the cabinet are jointly responsible for the decisions taken by the government. When a decision is taken by the cabinet, all members are expected to support and defend it publicly. Therefore, if the government loses a vote of confidence in parliament, the prime minister and the entire cabinet are expected to resign, as they have collectively failed in their responsibility to govern effectively. This principle ensures that the government remains accountable to parliament and the people, and that there is a system of checks and balances in place to prevent the abuse of power.

Antwoorddetails
In a federal system, the power allocated to both the central and the state governments is said to be concurrent.

The state governments, on the other hand, can make laws on matters that affect only their respective states, such as education, health care, and agriculture. The concurrent powers are those that can be exercised by both the central and state governments, such as taxation and law enforcement.
