What does Indian Constitution provide to form a government
Answers
The Constitution provides for a Parliamentary form of government which is federal in structure with certain unitary features.
While the President is the head of the state, the Prime Minister, as head of the Central or Union government, exercises the most executive power. The Central Government is formed by the party holding the majority of seats at the Lok Sabha.
As per Article 79 of the Constitution of India, the council of the Parliament of the Union consists of the President and two Houses known as the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha). Article 74(1) of the Constitution provides that there shall be a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as its head to aid and advise the President, who shall exercise his/her functions in accordance to the advice. The real executive power is thus vested in the Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister as its head.
The Republic is governed in terms of the Constitution of India which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November, 1949 and came into force on 26th January, 1950.
The Constitution was actually wrote by Prem Behari Narain Raizada. The constitution was published in Dehradun and photolithographed by the Survey of India. Production of the original constitution took nearly five years. Two days later, on 26 January 1950, it became the law of India.
