Question

Answer 1

The power sharing b/t the centre and the state government :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The Constitution declared India as a Union of states. The following points clearly show that the Indian Union is based on the principles of federalism –

1】The Constitution clearly provided a three-fold distribution of legislative powers between the Union government and the State governments in the three lists—Union, State and Concurrent lists.

2】Sources of revenue for each level of government are clearly specified to ensure its financial autonomy.

3】This sharing of power is basic to the structure of the Constitution, and it cannot be changed by Parliament; it has to be ratified by at least half of the state legislatures.

4】In a federation, judiciary solves the disputes between different levels of government. In any such case of a dispute, the High Courts and the Supreme Court make a decision.
