Answer 2

Answer:

In India, the powers to govern the country have been vested in the central government and the state government.

Explanation:

The provisions of the Constitution of India which make India a federal country are:

1. In India, the powers to govern the country have been vested in the central government and the state government. The state governments are not subordinate to the central governments and both derive their authority from the constitution. Later, elements of local government formed the third layer of federalism.

2. The Supreme Court and High Courts have the power to interpret the Constitution. Disputes arising between different levels of government are resolved by the Supreme Court.

3. The sources of revenue of the Central and State Governments are clearly laid down in the Constitution.

4. There are three different lists in which the Central and State Governments can make laws. The Central Government can make laws on the subjects listed in the Union List, the State Government can make laws on the subjects included in the State List and both the governments can make laws listed in the Concurrent List.

5. Not equal powers for all administrative units: Most federations that are formed by "holding together" do not give equal powers to their constituent units. Thus, all states in the Indian Union do not have equal powers. Some states have special status. Jammu and Kashmir has its own constitution. Many provisions of the Constitution of India do not apply to that state without the permission of the state assembly.

6. Consent of both levels of government: Under the federal government, the basic provisions cannot be changed unilaterally by one level of government and the same is true for India. Parliament cannot change the basic structure of the Constitution by itself.
