The correct answer for this question is option 2, the Weimar Constitution of Germany.

The inclusion of Emergency provisions in the Constitution of India has been inspired by the Emergency provisions present in the Weimar Constitution of Germany. The Weimar Constitution, which was adopted in 1919, provided for emergency powers that could be invoked in times of crisis or threat to the state. These emergency powers allowed the government to suspend certain civil rights and liberties, as well as take other extraordinary measures to maintain public order and national security.

The framers of the Indian Constitution, while drafting the provisions for emergencies, looked to the Weimar Constitution as a model. They recognized the need for a legal framework that could address situations where the country`s integrity, security, or democracy might be at risk. By incorporating emergency provisions in the Constitution, India aimed to strike a balance between safeguarding individual rights and preserving the stability and sovereignty of the nation.

It is worth noting that while the idea of Emergency provisions was borrowed from the Weimar Constitution, the specific provisions and safeguards in the Indian Constitution differ significantly from those in Germany. Alert - correct answer should be option 2, the Weimar Constitution of Germany.
