    The instructor starts by defining Constitutionalism on a slide titled "7. Constitutionalism (संविधानवाद)", noting the meaning as "Limited Government" and stating that authority is derived from and limited by a constitution. He points to the text while explaining. The slide then changes to "8. Accountability & Responsibility (जवाबदेही)", where he discusses Vertical Accountability to voters and Horizontal Accountability to other institutions. He specifically points to the Hindi text "ऊर्ध्व जवाबदेही" and "क्षैतिज जवाबदेही" to elaborate on these distinctions. He is wearing a light-colored hoodie.

The lesson moves from the theoretical framework of Constitutionalism, emphasizing the limitation of state power, to the operational mechanisms of Accountability. By defining Vertical Accountability as a relationship with voters and Horizontal Accountability as a relationship between state institutions, the instructor outlines the dual layers of responsibility required in a democracy. The bilingual presentation ensures clarity on these complex political science terms, aiding students in grasping the nuances of governance structures. This approach helps students very clearly understand the checks and balances in the system.
