Cevap
The correct matches are: National Economic Council pairs with advising the President on economic planning under the chairmanship of the Vice-President; Code of Conduct Tribunal pairs with adjudicating asset declaration breaches; Federal Character Principle pairs with mandating geopolitical diversity in federal appointments; and Federal Judicial Service Commission pairs with recommending candidates for higher judicial appointments.
Each constitutional organ and principle in the 1979 Constitution fulfilled a specific operational role designed for the Executive Presidential System: the National Economic Council coordinated macroeconomic policies under the Vice-President; the Code of Conduct Tribunal provided judicial sanctioning for ethics breaches; the Federal Character Principle enforced national integration in public service recruitment; and the Federal Judicial Service Commission insulated higher bench appointments from direct partisan manipulation.
