Question

How have centre state relations been restructured to strengthen federalism ❗️❓❤️☠️

Answer 1

under federalism, the states are not merely agents of the federal government but draw their authority from the Constitution as well.

Answer 2

Answer:

Federalism involves the distribution of power between the Centre and the State. The Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India has three lists, namely the Centre List, the State List and the Concurrent List. These lists provide various legislative heads under which ether the Centre or the State or both have power to legislate and make laws. Therefore for items listed in the State List, the States have sole power to make laws. This is the strongest feature of Indian Federalism.

Apart from this Constituional Amendments can be passed only after obtaining special majority, which means that the amendment needs to be passed by a minimum number of State Legislatures. This prevents the Centre from acting unilaterally and changing the Constitution and thus laws of the country.
