Answer 2

Heya

Here is your answer

________________

1. Division of power:

The constitution demarcates the power of the central and the state  government into different lists of subjects.

There are three lists  

Union list - Includes subjects of national importance. Example - defense,  foreign affairs banking communication and currency etc.  They are included in this list so that we have a uniform policy on these  matters throughout the country.  The union govt. makes laws relating to the subjects mentioned in the union  list.

State list- includes subjects of state importance Example police, trade  agriculture commerce etc.  

The state govt. can make laws relating to the subjects mentioned in the state  list.

Concurrent list- includes the subjects of common interest both in union and  state govt. Example marriage education forest adoption etc.  In case of conflict the laws made by the union government prevail.

Residuary Powers: The Union government has the power to make laws for  the subjects that are not included in any of the three lists. These are termed  residuary subjects. The central government can make laws on these  subjects.

Power sharing arrangements in our country

- All states in the Indian Union do not have identical powers: Jammu

Kashmir enjoys a Special status according to Article 370 of the  constitution.

-Jammu and Kashmir has its own constitution

-Many provisions of the Indian constitution are not applicable to this state  without the approval of the state assembly.

-Indians who aren’t permanent residents of this state cannot buy land or  house here.
