Ans. in brief:
3. Why is it important to bring in Constitutional Amendments from time to time?
Why do we need laws in a country?
Answers
Explanation:
Amendments are often necessary because of the length of state constitutions, which are, on average, three times longer than the federal constitution, and because state constitutions typically contain extensive detail. In addition, state constitutions are often easier to amend than the federal constitution.
Answer:
The Constitution provides for clear division of powers in respect of taxation between the Centre and states. While the Centre at present does not have the right to tax sale of goods, except in the case of inter-state sale, states cannot levy tax on services.
The divisions are mentioned in the Article 246 under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The Constitution needs to be amended to provide for giving power to both the Centre and states in respect of GST, a single tax on goods and services.
Laws are rules that bind all people living in a community. Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself. We have laws to help provide for our general safety. These exist at the local, state and national levels, and include things like:
Laws about food safety. At the state and local level, health departments have guidelines that restaurants follow for how to store and prepare food in a healthy manner, so that diners won’t get sick. At the national level, the Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies inspect food production plants to be sure that the food that shows up in your supermarket is safe to eat.
Speed limits and traffic laws exist so that we drive in a safe manner.
Licensing for doctors and nurses ensures proper training of the people who look after us, and who often have our lives in their hands.
