Answer 1

Answer:

Concept:

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. The document establishes a framework that defines the basic political code, structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and establishes the basic rights, directive principles and duties of citizens. It is the longest written national constitution in the world.

Explanation:

Federalism: Federalism is a system of government in which powers have been divided between the center and its constituent parts such as states or provinces. It is an institutional mechanism that accommodates two sets of policies, one at the central or national level and the other at the regional or provincial level.

Separation of Powers: Separation of powers refers to the division of powers into distinct branches of government, each with its own responsibilities. The intention of separation of powers is to prevent the concentration of unchecked power and to provide checks and balances in which the powers of one branch of government are limited by the powers of another branch – preventing abuse of power and avoiding autocracy.

Fundamental Rights - Fundamental rights are basic human rights enshrined in the Constitution of India that are guaranteed to all citizens. They are applied without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, etc. The essential thing is that fundamental rights are enforceable by the courts under certain conditions.

Parliamentary form of government - a parliamentary system, a democratic form of government in which the party with the largest representation in parliament forms the government, whose leader becomes the prime minister or chancellor. Executive functions are performed by members of parliament appointed to the cabinet by the prime minister. Minority parties serve in opposition to the majority and have a duty to challenge it regularly. Prime Ministers can be removed from power whenever they lose the confidence of the majority of the ruling party or parliament. The parliamentary system originated in Britain and was adopted in several of its former colonies.
