  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which of the following statements with regard to the federal system is/are correct?
    1. In a federation, two sets of governments co-exist and there is distribution of power.
    2. There is a written Constitution. 
    Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
    Solution
    A federal government is one in which powers are divided between the national government and the regional governments by the Constitution itself and both operate in their respective jurisdictions independently. A written constitution specifies the structure, organisation, powers, and functions of both the Central and state governments and prescribes the limits within which they must operate. Thus, it avoids the misunderstandings and disagreements between the two. So both the statements are correct.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Point out the common features of a Federal Constitution with the help of the codes given below:
    1. A written and rigid Constitution.
    2. Division of power between the centre and the units.
    3. Separation of powers between the legislature and the executive.
    4. Bicameral national legislature. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    "The Draft Constitution as framed only provides a machinery for the government of the country. It is not a contrivance to install any particular party in power as has been done in some countries. Who should be in power is left to be determined by the people, as it must be if the system is to satisfy the test of democracy"?
    The above passage from Constituent Assembly debates is attributed to _______.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    The office of Lokpal and Lokayukta in India is based on which one of the following?
    Solution
    The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) of India (1966–1970) recommended the setting of two special authorities designated as ‘Lokpal’ and ‘Lokayukta’ for the redressal of citizens’ grievances. These institutions were to be set up on the pattern of the institution of Ombudsman in Scandinavian countries and the parliamentary commissioner for investigation in New Zealand. The Lokpal would deal with complaints against ministers and secretaries at Central and state levels, and the Lokayukta (one at the Centre and one in every state) would deal with complaints against other specified higher officials.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    'The Federal System with strong centre has been borrowed by the Indian Constitution from _______.
    Solution
    The Constitution of India provides for a federal system of government in the country. The framers adopted the federal system due to two main reasons—the large size of the country and its sociocultural diversity. They realised that the federal system not only ensures the efficient governance of the country but also reconciles national unity with regional autonomy. The Indian federal system is based on the ‘Canadian model’ and not on the ‘American model’. The ‘Canadian model’ differs fundamentally from the ‘American model’ in so far as it establishes a very strong centre.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    The idea of including the Emergency provisions in the Constitution of India has been borrowed from the _______.
    Solution
    The Emergency provisions of the Indian constitution has been borrowed from the German constitution. The Emergency provisions are contained in Part XVIII of the Constitution, from Articles 352 to 360. These provisions enable the Central government to meet any abnormal situation effectively. The rationality behind the incorporation of these provisions in the Constitution is to safeguard the sovereignty, unity, integrity and security of the country, the democratic political system, and the Constitution.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    The Constitution of India borrowed the scheme of Federation from the Constitution of _______.
    Solution
    The Indian federal system is based on the ‘Canadian model’ and not on the ‘American model’. The ‘Canadian model’ differs fundamentally from the ‘American model’ in so far as it establishes a very strong centre. The Indian federation resembles the Candian federation (i) in its formation (i.e., by way of disintegration); (ii) in its preference to the term ‘Union’ (the Canadian federation is also called a ‘Union’); and (iii) in its centralising tendency (i.e., vesting more powers in the centre vis-a-vis the states).
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements:
    1. The Constitution as originally adopted had 22 Parts, 395 Articles and 12 Schedules.
    2. A chapter on Fundamental Duties did not find a place in the original Constitution. 
    Which is the correct statement?
    Solution
    Originally (1949), the Constitution contained a Preamble, 395 Articles (divided into 22 Parts) and 8 Schedules. Though the rights and duties of the citizens are correlative and inseparable, the original constitution contained only the fundamental rights and not the fundamental duties. Later in 1976, the fundamental duties of citizens were added in the Constitution. In 2002, one more Fundamental Duty was added.
