Question

What are the main provisions of the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments and what are their limitations?

Answer 1

Until the passage of the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendments, the states were the only sub- national units officially recognized by the Indian constitution. And the constitution grants individual states considerable legislative autonomy.

Schedule Seven of the Constitution explicitly demarcates the respective legislative domains of the state legislatures and the national parliament. The functional areas over which the national parliament has exclusive domain are specified in List I, also called the “Union List”.
