Answer 1

Answer:

Union List - It is a list of subjects of national importance. These include national defence, foreign affairs, banking, communications and currency. These subjects are included in this list because there is a need for the formation of a uniform national policy on these issues. The Union government has exclusive jurisdiction over subjects included in the Union List.

State List - It is a list of subjects of state and local importance. These include police, trade, commerce, agriculture and irrigation. The law relating to these subjects can be made only by the State Governments.

Concurrent List - The Concurrent List contains subjects of common interest to both the Union as well as the States. These include education, forest, trade unions, marriage, adoption and succession. The law relating to these subjects can be made by both the Central and State Governments.

Explanation:

• "Union List" comprise subjects of "national importance" such as foreign affairs, defence, communications, currency, &  banking. The union govt  alone can make laws concerning the subjects that are mentioned in the "Union List".
• "State List" comprise subjects of local & state importance such as trade, commerce, police, agriculture & irrigation. In this, the state govts alone can make laws concerning the subjects that are mentioned in the State List.
• "Concurrent List" comprise subjects of "common interest" to both the union govt & the state govts, such as  forest, education, marriage, trade unions,  succession, adoption, among others. The union & the state govts can make laws on the subjects that are mentioned in the "concurrent list". In case of conflict, the laws made by the union govt shall have primacy over the state laws.
• The union govt  has the "power to make laws" for the subjects which are "not included" in any of the 3 lists. These are termed as "residuary subjects".
