What is the address
The Constitution empowers the President and the Governor to address the Houses of Parliament or the Legislative Assembly. After every general election and every year on the occasion of the beginning of the session of the House, the Governor and the President give the address. President’s address is a constitutional requirement. Session cannot begin without address.
The tradition of addressing the house is not of the Indian, but of the British. According to the website of the British Parliament, the tradition of addressing the house is more than 16th century.
At that time the king or queen of the place used to address the house. But, since 1852, every year in Britain, the Queen has been addressing the House there. The same system also came with the British in India. In 1919, the British Government passed the Government of India Act in India.
In 1919 itself, the Rajya Sabha was formed with us, but it was called ‘Council of State’ at that time. However, the history of Lok Sabha starts from 1853. Initially, the Lok Sabha was called the ‘Legislative Council’, which had 12 members.
After Independence, the President’s address before the session begins in 1950. Article 86 (1) of the Constitution provides for this. Under this, the first session after the general elections and the first session of the year begins with the President’s address and after that the work of both the houses begins.
