Answer 2

The federal features of the Indian constitution.

Explanation:

The main federal features of the Indian Constitution are as follows:

Written Constitution: The first essential feature of a Federal System is a written Constitution which defines the structure, organization and powers of the Central as well as the State Governments 80 that the two Operate with each others jurisdiction. The Indian Constitution is a written document which now contains 440 Articles and 12 Schedules. It stands at the top of hierarchy of all laws and all the authorities in India are legally bound to respect it.

Rigid Constitution: Another essential feature of our federation is a rigid Constitution which can be amended either by the joint action of the Federal and State Legislatures or by an independent authority. The Indian Constitution is rigid to a large extent.

Independent Judiciary: The existence of an independent judiciary is another important feature of the Indian Federal System. The Supreme Court also ensures that the Federal and the State Governments operate within the spheres allotted to them by the Constitution.

Division of Powers: Another feature of a federation is statutory division of powers between the Federal Government and the State Governments. The Indian Constitution divides the powers on the pattern of the Canadian Constitution. All the powers have been divided into three lists-the Union List, the State List and the Concurrent List. The residuary powers have been vested by the Constitution in the Central Government.
