Answer 2

Answer:

Unitary Features of the Indian Constitution:

• . Division of powers in favour of Centre: The Indian Constitution has distributed the powers between the Centre and the States in such a way that the Centre has become stronger than the States. The Central Government gets the lion's share of the powers.

• Written Constitution: The Constitution of India is written. Every provision of the Constitution is clearly written down and has been discussed in detail.

India is federal in nature but its soul is unitary:

• In legislative matters, the Union Parliament is very powerful. It has not only exclusive control over the Union list and the residuary powers, but it has also dominance over the Concurrent List and the State list. This is of importance for uniformity of laws in the country.
• n administrative matters also, the Central government has been made more powerful than the States. The State governments have to work under the supervision and control of the Central government. The States should exercise its executive powers in accordance with the laws made by the Parliament.
