Question

Enumerate any power of the state legislature.

Answer 1

The Legislature of each State is empowered to frame laws on all matters included in the State List and the Concurrent List. But laws made by the State Legislature on the subject in the Concurrent List will be null and void in case they conflict with the laws of the Union on the same subject provided the relevant laws of the State Legislature have not obtained the assent of the President. Thus, the Constitution has imposed certain restrictions on the powers of the State Legislature. Another limitation on the power of the legislature is that during an emergency, the Parliament of India may make laws on the State List.
