What happens if the government loses a confidence vote in the assembly?

  1. The government remains unchanged

  2. The government must resign

  3. The ministers get a pay raise

  4. The assembly is dissolved automatically

The correct answer is: The government must resign

When a government loses a confidence vote in the assembly, it means that a majority of the assembly members do not support the government's policies or decisions. This indicates a lack of confidence in the government's ability to lead the country. As a result, the government must resign and a new government must be formed. Options A and C are incorrect because losing a confidence vote does not result in the government remaining unchanged or the ministers receiving a pay raise. Option D is also incorrect as the assembly is not automatically dissolved in this scenario.
