Answer 2

Judiciary acts as an umpire in a federal nation because- D. Courts use the power to interpret the Constitution.

• In a federal nation, the constitution is supreme which defines the powers and limitations of each organ of government.
• The different organs of government are- executive, legislative and judiciary. The functioning of each organ is independent of the others.
• Judiciary is the organ of government that provides justice. Whenever there is a dispute regarding any law, the judiciary interprets the law and applies it. It has the power to define the constitution and its provisions.
• Judiciary does not rule over centre and state. It ensures that the basic structure of the constitution does not change by any parliamentary law.
